D. PROBLEM
– Dust or hairs seem to be moving in the image.
CORRECTION –
The iris diaphragm is not open wide enough. Slowly
open the diaphragm to increase the size of the opening allowing
for additional illumination.

- Once the specimen is in focus, it moves out of focus.
CORRECTION
– Gravity is causing the stage to drift downward,
causing loss of focus. The focusing tension should be increased to
act as a brake to prevent this downward drift
F. PROBLEM
– Focusing knobs turn with difficulty.
CORRECTION
–
1. Loosen the tension collar adjustment. See page 10.
2. The microscope should be disassembled, cleaned and
re-lubricated by a qualified, authorized technician.
