1. Dust or dirt is visible in the
field of view.
Dust or dirt is left on the eyepieces. Clean the eyepieces.
5
Dust or dirt is left on the optical
element.
Clean the optical element.
5
Dust or dirt is left on the specimen. Clean the optical element.
Clean the specimen, or replace it with a
clean specimen.

2. One side of the field of view
blurs.
The specimen is tilted on the stage. Set the specimen correctly on the stage.
When using the mechanical stage CKX3-
MVR, place the specimen on the holder
portion correctly.
11
The stage center plate is not
placed at the correct position or it
is tilted.
Attach the stage center plate at the correct
position.
33
The accuracy of the bottom surface
of the culture container is poor.
Use a highly accurate culture container.
-
3. Fields of view of two eyes do
not coincide.
The interpupillary distance is not
adjusted correctly.
Adjust the interpupillary distance correctly.
19
The difference in diopter of two
eyes is not compensated.
Adjust the diopter correctly.

4. The objective interferes the
stage center plate or the
mechanical stage CKX3-
MVR.
The stage center plate is not
placed at the correct position or it
is tilted.
Attach the stage center plate at the correct
position.
33
The focal point of the specimen is
higher than the stage surface due
to the shape of the container.
Use the objective with a long W.D. or the
stage center plate with a large aperture.
-
5. The mechanical stage
CKX3-MVR does not work
smoothly.
The fixing knob is loosened.
Tighten the fixing knob firmly.
38
The specimen is heavy.
Place the light specimen on the stage and
confirm the movement of the mechanical
stage CKX3-MVR.

6. The holder portion stops in
the middle when the X-axis
knob is rotated.
The position relation between
the wire in the mechanical stage
CKX3-MVR and the holder portion
is not correct.
Hold the holder portion and move it slowly to
the end of the direction where the knob stops
in the middle.
If this problem is not solved,
move the center of the holder portion to the
center of stage center plate roughly. And
then while holding the X-axis knob with your
hand, move only the holder portion to the
end of the direction where the knob stops in
the middle. (This operation enables to slip the
wire.) Repeat this operation until the holder
portion reaches the end by rotating the X-axis
knob.

7. It is defocused during
observation.
The tension of the coarse focusing
knob is not adjusted appropriately.
Adjust the tension of the coarse focusing
knob to heavier according to the observation.

8. The rotation of the coarse
focusing knob is too heavy.
The tension of the coarse focusing
knob is not adjusted appropriately.
Adjust the tension of the coarse focusing
knob to lighter according to the observation.
