If you are using an extension cable, then the mains cable you use must be earthed. When carrying out any procedures whereby you come into contact with the electrical system of the device, such as, for example, changing the bulb, only carry out these procedures when the power is disconnected.

In most cases, if dust and dirt gets inside the optical unit of a microscope this can cause irreversible errors or damage. The best way to store accessories which consist of optical elements, such as, for example, eyepieces and objectives, is in a dry box with desiccant. OZC-5-BA-e-1510...
Special cleaner for optical lenses Special optical cleaning cloths Bellows Brush When handled correctly and checked regularly, the microscope should give many years of efficient service.

The eye cups supplied with the microscopes can be fitted to the eyepieces. (see section 5.6). You can fit a C-mount adapter to the appropriate connection point on the top of the microscope head. This enables you to fit and use digital cameras (remove protective cap first) (see section 5.9). OZC-5-BA-e-1510...
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 OZC-5 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.
11. Then look through the left eyepiece with the left eye and use the lefthand dioptre adjustment ring to also adjust the optimum focus of the object. 12. In this way, the object being observed will be in focus at any zoom setting. OZC-5-BA-e-1510...
On one hand, this function can help to make it easier to adjust the focus and on the other hand it can prevent the microscope head from slipping down unintentionally. In this way you can avoid possible damage which could occur if the objective lens and the object being observed should collide. OZC-5-BA-e-1510...
In order to maintain hygiene, we would therefore recommend that you clean the eye cups regularly (e.g. with a damp cloth). Eye cups High Eye Point eyepiece (identified by the glasses symbol) OZC-5-BA-e-1510...
5.7 Lighting control For the Devices of the OZC-5 series there is the usage of an external power adapter needed. If the power connection is established, you can turn on the incident lighting by using the on/off switche of the control device (see figure).
The lighting units which are suitable for devices of the OZC-5 series, are goose neck lighting units (see figure). These are available as LED as well as halogen versions and also have an on/off switch or different controller.
5.9 Fitting and adjusting a camera You can connect special microscope cameras and reflex cameras to trinocular devices in the OZC-5 series, so that you can digitally record images or sequences of objects being observed. The connection for this is on the top side of the microscope head (see figure above).

The image which is shown on the camera connected to the device can often have a different level of focus compared with the image on the eyepiece. In order to be able to bring both images into focus, the focus can be adjusted by those adapters when turning the attached black plastic ring. OZC-5-BA-e-1510...
A user guide is included with the delivery of each angle table which contains the precise instructions on how to fit it. We strongly recommend that you follow these instructions closely, to make sure that you will be able to use the angle table without problems. OZC-5-BA-e-1510...
5.11 Changing the bulb Devices from the OZC-5 series with lighting units are all fitted with LED bulbs. Due to the long service life of an LED lighting system, for these microscopes it will not be necessary to simply change a bulb.
