Hi,

I've just rescued a Olympus SZ Microscope (I believe a SZ-3).

I've bought new eyepieces as these were missing, but have discovered
two problems:

- The focal points of the eyepieces is different
- There appears to be vertical parallax error (I think this
terminology is correct) - the image in each eyepiece is at a different
level.

Could someone recommend how to correct these problems?

Thank you in advance!

Are your eyepieces identical? One should be fixed while the other
should be adjustable. If not, then you cannot correct for your own
eyes' differences.
