Japanese term or phrase: エガキ
I am currently working on Japanese-to-English translation relating to repairs of microscopes, specifically, observation tubes, trying to find an English term corresponding to the Japanese term "エガキ", which means image displacement resulting from misalignment between the center of the mechanical rotation axis and the optical axis (center of the mechanical tube sleeve), which may occur during interpupillary adjustment. It would be highly appreciated if you could give me any helpful suggestion.

Reference: astigmatism?

Reference information:
I don't know much about microscopy, but after a bit of searching I found the document linked below. Is "astigmatism" the kind of defect you are talking about?
Anyway, the file might be a useful source of terminology even if that's not the case.
