The knob is very loose and therefore not changing correctly between the eyepiece and camera. How simple is it to repair? Are any specialist tools required?
Hi Casey, I experienced exactly the same problem with an IX71. To fix it, it seems that you have to disasemble quite some parts of the microscope. It was a job that I gladly left to one of the Olympus specialists. The good news is that you can replace part of what connects the eyepiece knob to the selection mirror by a better quality piece. That will prevent the issue in the future.
Thanks Guus for your reply. I did suspect that it might be a complicated job, but thought I'd enquire anyway! I will look into this new piece as well. Thanks again.
I'm glad I found this thread, one of ours just had the same problem. As least it's stuck on the camera port while we wait for repairs.
We Have FV1000 cofocal microscope. Recently the computer is not commucation with the software. Any help is much appreciated
