correct size. 

Condenser not focused correctly. 

Focus the condenser. 

Wrong cover slip thickness selected 
for use of transmitted-light objectives

or moving the objective to and fro. 

Immersion oil on the front lens of a 
dry objective. 

Clean the front lens of the dry objective. 

Low resolving power, poor 
image contrast 

Dirt or dust on the optical surfaces of 
objectives, eyepieces, condenser, or 
filters 

Clean the respective optical 
components. 

Greater focus differences after 
changing the objective 

The focusing eyepieces have not been 
set correctly. 

Set the focusing eyepieces to the 
corresponding defective vision. 

Power plug has not been plugged into
