Premiere Microscopes MF-02 Binocular Microscope - Answered Questions & Fixed issues
Mf 2 model - where
The oil goes between the cover slip of the slide and the objective tip. It can also help to put some between the condenser lens and the bottom of the slide. Be careful when using oil, as when rotating to lower magnifications, it is very possible for the 40x to get oil on it. The 100x is sealed to protect it, but the 40x is not. If oil gets on the 40x, it can seep up inside and destroy the lens.
It is also a very good practice to clean both the 100x and 40x after each use. If the oil sits on even the sealed 100x objective for any long extent of time, it will start to break down the silicon seal, and you can potentially have the same problem as with the 40x, where the objective acts like a wick of a candle and sucks up the oil, thereby destroying the objective.

I have a MF-02 Microscope.
There is probably oil on the outside of the object. You can try cleaning it off with some alcohol and a que-tip. If that doesn't work, the seal of the objective has probably failed and oil has seeped up inside. Otherwise the other problem that can cause it is to many small scratches to the outer lens of the objective. This can happen when the objective lens crashes through a slide.
One thing you can do to protect your objective from this happening, is that most microscopes have some sort of up stop lock, which is designed to prevent the stage from coming past a certain point. On your model, this is most likely a screw that sits just behind the stage.
If the cleaning doesn't work, the usually replacing it is the most economical option. This model has a pretty standard object type, so any object that has a 160mm tube length and has standard RMS threading should work with it just fine.

Problem with MF-02 binocular microscope stage
I think your problem lies in the way the stage is limited upwards. On top of the stage, right behind it where it slides against the arm, there should be a little screw. This screw limits the movement of the stage to a certain point upwards. If the limit exceeds the adjustment gear and its opposing track, then the stage just goes up one notch and then it clunks down. If you screw it down the stage is limited further down, if you screw it up it's limited a bit higher. The point of this screw is to prevent objective and slide damage. Try adjusting this little screw a bit further down and see if it still 'clunks' when you turn it up. After that we may work on properly adjusting it. If not, please post again with whatever detail you can provide to aid you with this problem further.

I have a digital microscope
If the digital microscope was designed to work with the earlier operational systems then you will need to replace the item. The only option is to check the manufacture web site in the hopes they may have updated the driver for windows 7 for your device.

AA-Spectrometer Unicam 939 Error
The error you are experiencing on your Unicam 939 AA-Spectrometer with the software reporting error 16 and 2, along with lamps 1,2,3,4, and 10 lighting up, could indicate a few different issues. Here are some steps you can take to try to fix the problem:
- Restart the spectrometer: Turn off the spectrometer and unplug it from the power source. Wait a few minutes, then plug it back in and turn it on again. Sometimes, a simple restart can fix issues with the instrument.
- Check the calibration: It is possible that the instrument needs to be calibrated. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for calibrating the spectrometer.
- Check the lamps: If multiple lamps are lighting up, it could be due to a problem with the lamp assembly. Check that the lamps are properly installed and functioning. Try replacing any lamps that appear damaged or worn.
- Check the power supply: Make sure the power supply is functioning properly by testing the voltage output with a multimeter. If the voltage output is incorrect, try replacing the power supply.
- Check the communication between the software and the spectrometer: Ensure that the software is properly communicating with the spectrometer. Check that the cables are properly connected and that the software settings are correct.
If these steps do not resolve the issue, it may be necessary to contact the manufacturer for additional support or to seek the assistance of a professional repair technician.

Eppendorf centrifuge model 5702: lid not does latch/lock after emergency release.
If the lid of your Eppendorf centrifuge model 5702 is not latching or locking closed after the emergency release, it is possible that the locking mechanism is damaged or misaligned. Here are some steps you can try to troubleshoot the issue:
- Check the alignment of the lid: Make sure that the lid is properly aligned with the base of the centrifuge. If it is not, the locking mechanism may not engage correctly. Adjust the lid as needed and try to latch it closed.
- Inspect the locking mechanism: Check the locking mechanism on both the lid and the base of the centrifuge for any signs of damage or wear. If you see any damage, you may need to replace the locking mechanism.
- Check the safety interlock switch: The safety interlock switch is a small button located on the base of the centrifuge that is depressed when the lid is closed. If this switch is not working correctly, it can prevent the lid from latching closed. Check that the switch is functioning properly by pressing it with a small tool while attempting to latch the lid.
- Contact Eppendorf customer support: If none of the above steps work, you may need to contact Eppendorf customer support for further assistance. They can help you troubleshoot the issue and provide advice on how to proceed.

Enigma 8 autoclave error code E13
The E13 error code on an Enigma 8 autoclave typically indicates a problem with the vacuum system. This error code is indicating that the vacuum is not reaching the proper level during the sterilization cycle.
Here are a few things you can check to fix the E13 error code:
- Check the vacuum pump: Make sure that the vacuum pump is functioning properly and that it is not blocked or clogged.
- Check the air filter: Make sure that the air filter is clean and not clogged. A clogged air filter can prevent the vacuum pump from functioning properly.
- Check the vacuum hose: Make sure that the vacuum hose is not damaged or disconnected.
- Check the door gasket: Make sure that the door gasket is not damaged or leaking. A damaged or leaking door gasket can prevent the vacuum from reaching the proper level.
- Check the control board: Make sure that the control board is not damaged or malfunctioning.
- Check the water level: Make sure that the water level is at the correct level in the autoclave chamber.
