VI. Trouble Shooting (This section is not included
in the videotape)
This program is intended as an introduction to the compound binocular microscope. No prior microscopic
experience is required. It is recommended that this videotape be first viewed in it’s entirety; then each
section can be repeated for practice and review. Videotape counter readings are provided for this purpose.
Counter readings are approximate and may vary according to the equipment being used. To begin, zero the
meter upon appearance of the Nikon logo. Do not reset counter between sections. Also, it is beneficial for
the viewer to have access to a microscope while viewing the videotape.

Stage
Holds Specimen
Slide Holder
Holds slide in place Stage Clamp Screw
Loosen to remove stage
4. Place slide on stage (cover slip facing up) and secure it with slide holder.
8. Rotate eyepieces to set interpupillary distance so that the right and left images merge
into one.
12. Rotate eyepieces until end surfaces are on white line or “0”.
17. Rotate eyepieces to adjust for diopter difference (focusing difference between eyes),
Close condenser aperture diaphragm by turning the condenser control ring to the right.
Close the field diaphragm to its smallest opening with the field diaphragm control ring.
Focus the field diaphragm image with the condenser focus knob until the edges of the
octagonal image are sharp and have a reddish pink tinge
Center the field diaphragm image with the condenser centering screws. This centers
the light path onto the specimen plane.
Enlarge field diaphragm image toward edge of the field of view with the field diaphragm
control ring.
10. Further enlarge the field diaphragm image until it is just outside the field of view. This
provides enough light to fully and evenly cover the observation area.
11. Remove the right eyepiece and look down the eyepiece tube. The circular beam of
light is the image of the condenser.
12. Adjust the condenser diaphragm with the condenser diaphragm control ring until the
beam fills 3/4 of the tube (1/4 of the area of the tube will be dark and 3/4 will be light).
This provides optimum contrast and resolution.
1/4 dark
13. Replace eyepiece.
3/4 light
14. Adjust light intensity with the brightness control dial.
IV. Oil immersion
Oil should never come in contact with the dry lenses such as the 4x, 10x or 40x objectives or be placed on
the slide until the viewing area has been chosen.
Watching from the side of microscope, rotate to the oil immersion objective. Do not
allow dry objectives to pass through the oil.
Remove eyepiece.
14. After you are finished, clean lens and slide. Remove excess oil by blotting with clean
lens paper. Continue cleaning with 1-3 drops methanol. Start from center of lens and
move in a circular motion towards outside of the lens. Gently blot the lens dry. Never
rub the lens because of foreign particles possibly being present.
V. Preventive maintenance
To replace bulb:
1. Turn off and unplug microscope prior to replacing bulb. Pull lamp socket out of the
microscope base and remove the old bulb from its socket.
2. Do not handle new bulb with fingers. Use the protective packet and place the bulb
pins directly into the socket. Insert socket into the base.
To clean optics:
3. Dust eyepieces, condenser, field lens and filters often with a camel's hair brush or
bursts of air. Clean the eyepieces and objectives with lens paper only when
finger prints or smudges appear or when dusting does not seem to correct a problem.
4. Clean the oil immersion lens at the end of each day's use with lens paper and
periodically with methanol or lens cleaning solution.
5. If objectives get immersion oil or other fluids on them clean immediately. First slot
the lens with clean lens paper to remove fluid. Dampen lens paper with 1-3 drops of
methanol and use the procedure described in the oil immersion section. Finally blot
the lens dry.
To inspect objectives:
y 6. Carefully unscrew the objective from its socket, keeping one hand underneath the
objective to prevent it from falling. Remove one eyepiece and invert it; it then becomes
sk a high powered magnifying glass. Aim it toward the lens at a 45 degree angle until the
Z ς image of the lens is in focus. A clean lens should sparkle.
7. Use xylene to remove stubborn smudges. Moisten a cotton tipped swab in xylene and
apply sparingly to the optic in a circular motion. Use extreme caution with xylene
because it can soften the lens cement and cause severe damage.
To store microscope:
8. Keep microscope covered or placed in its protective case when not in use.
To carry microscope:
9. Carry the microscope with one hand on the arm and the other supporting the base.
VI. Trouble shooting
Problem Probable cause Corrective action
FOCUSING
Won't focus on 40x or higher Specimen slide upside down Turn glass slide over so that the
magnification coverslip faces up
Nonparfocal Set-up procedure not correctly followed Repeat “Operation” steps 11-17
Objective has come partially unscrewed Tighten objective
LIGHTING
No light Microscope not plugged in Plug into outlet
Brightness control dial turned off Turn up light intensity
Objective not clicked into position Click objective into place
Condenser image completely off center when field Adjust image with centering screws
diaphragm is closed down
Bulb burned out Replace bulb
Insufficient light Brightness control dial set too low Increase brightness
Condenser diaphragm closed Open condenser diaphragm
Substage condenser lowered too far (not correctly Adjust height of substage condenser
focused) as per Koehler Method
Flickering Loose power connection Plug in microscope or try
another wall outlet
Corrosion on bulb pins Clean pins on bulb
Defective bulb socket Replace socket
MISCELLANEOUS
Eyestrain Illumination of field too intense Reduce light intensity
Eyepieces not focused for each eye Repeat “Operation” steps 11-17
Floating spots “Debris” in the vitreous humor of the retina; Taking a break & resting will often help
noticeable at high magnifications
Field diaphragm noncenterable Substage condenser seated improperly in condenser Loosen condenser clamp screw and
carrier reseat condenser
Bubbles or dark wave passes Air bubbles in oil; contact between oil immersion Clean slide and/or add more oil
across the field of view when objective and oil “broken”
using immersion oil

The Swing-out Achromat and Achromat/
aplanat condensers, however, have a graduation
indicating the numerical apertures (N.A.), and
not the diameters of diaphragm opening.
Manipulation of these condensers is the same as
that of the Abbe condenser. Stopping down the
aperture diaphragm too far will deteriorate the
image quality of microscope due to diffraction
of light. Therefore, it is not recommended to
stop down the aperture to a size smaller than
60% of the N.A. of the objective in use except
when observing almost transparent specimen.
6) Use of field diaphragm
The field diaphragm is used for determining the
illuminated area on the specimen surface in
relation to the field of view of the microscope.
Generally, it is stopped down to such an extent
that the circumference of the illuminated area
circumscribes or inscribes that of the eyepiece
field of view. If the former be larger than the
latter, extraneous light will enter the field of
view, causing flare in the image and lowering
the contrast. Therefore, especially in photo-
micrography, the proper adjustment of the field
diaphragm is very important. Generally, good
results will be achieved when the diaphragm is
stopped down to such an extent that the dia-
meter of illuminated area is slightly larger than
the diagonal of film format.
7) Focusing
The relation between the direction of rotation
of the focus knobs and that of vertical move-
ment of the stage is as indicated in Fig. 14.

Ill. MICROSCOPY
Note 1: Manipulate the centering screws of the condenser lens if part of the viewfield
is dark. If this doesn't help, check the following items:
Note2: Check the following items when the specimen cannot be focused.

W. MANIPULATION OF EACH ELEMENT
1) Use of Focusing Device
The turning direction of the knob and the direction of vertical
movement of the stage are shown in Fig. 4.
One rotation of the fine focus knob moves the stage 0. 1mm and the
graduation on the fine focus knob is 1 micron. One rotation of the
coarse focus knob moves the stage 12mm. The range of coarse
and fine motion is 2mm up and 28mm down from the standard
position
The coarse focus knob tightens by turning the torque adjustment ring
counterclockwise.
Never turn the right or left knob while holding the other. It may
cause problems.
Do not turn the coarse focus knob further than the limit.

3) Diopter Adjustment
(Before adjusting the diopter, implement MICROSCOPY procedures
1) to 11) and focus on the specimen with the 10X objective.)
Make diopter adjustments for both the right and left eyepieces
(1) Turn the diopter compensation rings on each eyepiece until the end
surface of the ring coincides with the engraved line
(This is the position of O dioptic compensation.) (Fig. 7-1)
(2) Swing the 40X objective by turning the revolving nosepiece and
bring the specimen image into focus by turning the fine focus knob
(or the coarse focus knob).
(3) Swing the 4X or 10X objective into position. Without manipulating
the fine and coarse focus knobs, turn the diopter rings on the
eyepieces so that the specimen images in the right and left
eyepieces are focused individually (Fig. 7-2)

8) Use of Filters
(1) ND filter cassette (Optional)
Accessory filters attached to the optional ND filter cassette are ND2,
ND4, and ND16. These are used for general microscopy and
brightness control in photomicrography.
e Light is reduced to 1/8 when the ND2 and NDA filters are put into
the optical path and is reduced to 1/64 when ND4 and ND16 filters
are put into the optical path. Light can be reduced from 1/2 to 1/
128 depending on the combination of the filters.
e Securely change the filter insertion /removal knob.
Removing and mounting the ND filters
Use gloves or gauze so as not to touch the filters with your bare
hands.
To remove the ND filter, lay soft cloth such as gauze on a desk.
Place the ND filter cassette on it and spread the lever (Fig. 12).
To mount the filter, insert the filter obliquely in the opposite side of
the lever and spread the lever from the lower side
Any filters with an outer diameter of 45mm and thickness less than
3mm can be mounted in the ND filter cassette. The indication on
the filter insertion Z removal knob, however, can't be changed

Transparent Cover
Mount the transparent cover to protect the filters from dust (Fig. 13-1).
When the ND filter cassette is removed, attach the transparent cover
on the field lens (Fig. 13-2). However, remove the cover during
observation or photomicrographing with the viewfield diaphragm
stopped down.
