Chapter 6 Troubleshooting

6.2 Operational

Problem

Possible causes

Remedy

Condenser aperture diaphragm is
stopped down too far.

This should normally be set to 70 to 80%
of the objective N.A.

Field diaphragm image is not focused
on the specimen surface.

Focus and center the condenser.

Field of view is too dark.

Optical path switching lever is not set
to the 100% eyepiece.

Switch to the 100% eyepiece.

6.2

Operational

Problem

Possible causes

Remedy

Image is not in focus
although the objective is
raised to the highest
position.

Stage is attached incorrectly.

Attach it correctly.

Images in left and right
eyepieces are not
coincident.

Interpupillary adjustment has not
been performed.

Make adjustments.

Diopter adjustment has not been
performed.

Make adjustments.

Eyes are fatigued.

Brightness is inadequate.

Use the brightness control knob or ND
filters to adjust brightness.

6.3

Electrical

Problem

Possible causes

Remedy

There is no power even
though the power switch
is on.

Power cord is not connected, or is
connected improperly.

Connect it properly.

Lamp does not light.

Lamp has burned out.

Replace the lamp with a specified one.

Lamp burns out quickly.

Lamp type is incorrect.

Replace the lamp with a specified one.

Cables are not connected, or are
connected improperly.

Connect cables properly, and push them in
as far as possible (see p. 60).

Power does not turn on,
even though the
cytodiagnostic unit (if
used) power switch is
on.

The 55i (if used) power switch is not
set to on.

Turn on the 55i power switch (press "|").

Magnification of the
cytodiagnostic unit (if
used) does not change
even if the hand switch
is depressed.

Hand switch cable or signal cable
(55i) is not connected, or is
connected improperly.

Connect the cable properly and push it in
as far as possible (see p. 60).

Signal cable is not connected, or is
connected improperly.

Connect the signal cable properly and push
it in as far as possible (see p. 60).

Brightness control knob is set to
maximum.

Set the brightness control knob to a level
below maximum.

Illumination brightness
is unaltered even if
magnification is changed
(when cytodiagnostic
unit is attached to the
55i).

Preset switch is depressed.

Press the preset switch so that the switch
comes out.
