6. Troubleshooting
Refer to the table below for common issues and their solutions:
| Issue | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Image is shaky or blurry | Unstable surface; improper focus; high magnification without fine adjustment. | Place the microscope on a stable, flat surface. Adjust both coarse and fine focus carefully. Ensure adequate lighting. |
| Difficulty with fine focus adjustment | Focus ring too sensitive; backlash in mechanism. | Make very small, precise turns on the focus ring. Approach desired focus from one direction to minimize backlash. |
| Menu navigation is cumbersome | Limited navigation buttons. | Familiarize yourself with the menu structure and button functions. Use the remote control for easier access to common functions. |
| Not suitable for soldering applications | Limited working distance for soldering tools. | This microscope is primarily designed for observation. For soldering, consider microscopes with longer working distances or specialized stands. |
