1 . Visual and Mechanical Inspection • Inspect the overall microscope condition for damage , wear , or missing components . • Check mechanical parts , including focus knobs , stage controls , and mechanical stage movement , for smooth operation . • Inspect all adjustment mechanisms , locks , and tension controls for proper function . • Verify the stability of the base , arm , and head assemblies . 2 . Optical System Cleaning and Inspection • Clean all accessible optical components ( eyepieces , objectives , condenser , mirrors , and filters ) using approved lens cleaning materials . • Check optical surfaces for scratches , fogging , or contamination . • Inspect objective turret alignment and secure mounting . • Verify condenser alignment and iris diaphragm function . 3 . Illumination System Check • Inspect the light source housing and optics . • Check bulb or LED condition , brightness , and color temperature . • Verify intensity control and illumination uniformity . • Inspect the power supply , cord , and connectors for wear or damage . 4 . Functional and Alignment Verification • Verify optical alignment and image centering . • Confirm parfocality and focus accuracy between objectives . • Test stage travel limits and smoothness of movement . • Confirm condenser centering and Kohler illumination ( if applicable ).
