5 Operation and functionality
5.1 Getting started
After assembly, if the microscope is ready for use, then for devices with lighting (OZL
451) you must first establish a power connection using the cable which is
connected to the device.
Please see section 5.7 for more details on adjusting the lighting.
Do not forget to remove the cap from the bottom of the objective, so that you will then
be able to see a reflection of the object being observed in the eyepiece.
All important functions which relate to the use of the devices in this document are
described in the following sections.
5.2 Adjusting the interpupillary distance
Different users have different interpupillary distances. So each time a different
person uses the microscope, the gap between the two eyepieces must be re-
adjusted.
While you are looking through the eyepieces, use one hand to hold the righthand or
lefthand prism housing firmly.
By rotating outwards or inwards, you can either increase or reduce the interpupillary
distance.
As soon as the lefthand and righthand visual fields exactly overlap each other, this is
the correct interpupillary distance.
5.3 Adjusting the magnification
As the KERN OZL-45 series are stereo zoom microscopes, then you adjust the
magnification using the two zoom adjustment wheels on the lefthand and righthand
side of the microscope head.
Chapter 6 "Optical data" gives information on the possible overall magnification which
the microscope can produce. It will also include the optional use of different
eyepieces and auxiliary objectives.
