trouble shooting
If you do not get an image (or a good image) to view on your LCD screen, here
are a few things to double check:
1. Make sure the AC Adapter is plugged in to an AC power source and
attached to the microscope securely and correctly.
2. Make sure you have the illuminator turned on with maximum brightness
adjustment (this is the normal position).
3. Make sure the objective lens you have chosen is set correctly and it has
clicked in the right position.
4. Make sure that the filter wheel is set correctly at a click position so that the
illuminated light comes up properly – the normal position for most usage is
with the clear hole.
5. Make sure the specimen slide is correctly fitted into the clamp on the
mechanical stage and properly centered.
6. If the stage is wobbly or is erratic in movement, make sure all screws on the
top and side of the stage are tight.
