MICROSCOPY
The regulated power supply may not be functioning properly because of
a faulty tube. Beyond these simple checks, a service call may be required
unless the operator is quite skilled in electronic work. However, before
deciding that the high tension is malfunctioning, it is important to
rule out instability in the objective circuit, and even electrostatic effects
from contamination in the objective pole-piece which may at times
simulate high voltage instability in their effects.
