Illumination/Diffuser problems
Two microscopes have been found to have torn diffusers which creates abberations on images. Some suggestions for the cause of this have been made already:
* Prolonged exposure to UV
* Sheer forces causing it to tear during assembly
In one case, the microscope also had a completely shattered separator. This could also be caused by prolonged exposure to UV. Images have been attached below.

Potential points of discussion could be alternative materials instead of the polypropylene or a more reliable way of making the diffuser.
