Page 4: Before Use
When carrying out any procedures whereby you come into contact with the electrical system of the device, such as, for example, changing the bulb or fuse, only carry out these procedures when the power is disconnected. The rechargeable batteries must be replaced by qualified electricians only. OBE-1-BA-e-1611... -
Page 5: Storage
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. OBE-1-BA-e-1611... -
Page 6: Maintenance And Cleaning
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. Should repairs still be necessary, please contact your KERN dealer or our Technical Department. OBE-1-BA-e-1611... -

Page 12: Assembly
If the microscope has no focus dial for the condenser, the height adjustment is done by turning the condenser on its vertical axis. You should avoid touching the optical lenses with bare fingers. OBE-1-BA-e-1611... -
Page 13: Operation
(see illustration on the left). To move the sample into the beam path, you must use the adjustment wheels on the right of the angle table (see illustration on the right). You can position only one object holder. OBE-1-BA-e-1611... -
Page 14: Pre-) Focussing
Important: In order to avoid damaging to the focussing system, the left and right adjustment wheels for the coarse and fine adjustment knob must never be rotated at the same time in opposite directions. OBE-1-BA-e-1611... -
Page 15: Adjusting The Interpupillary Distance
2. Then look through the left eyepiece with the left eye and use the dioptre adjustment ring to focus the image. To do this, you just need to turn the ring in both directions (see illustration), to find out where the image is at its most focussed. OBE-1-BA-e-1611... -
Page 16: Adjusting The Magnification
If you have focussed the object to be observed for a specific magnification, then if you select the objective with the next greatest magnification, then the object will be slightly out of focus. Use the fine adjustment knob to make a slight adjustment and restore the focus. OBE-1-BA-e-1611... -
Page 17: Adjusting The Illumination
If the eyepiece should be removed, for checking, then please make sure that no dirt or dust falls into the tube. 3. The brightness is always controlled by the bulb brightness (using the dimmer) and not by the aperture diaphragm. OBE-1-BA-e-1611... -
Page 18: Using Rechargeable Batteries
5.7 Using rechargeable batteries For OBE 103, OBE 109, OBE 113 There are three models of the series OBE-1, which enable a wireless usage. Therefore three rechargeable batteries are integrated in the power supply of these microscopes. Specification of the batteries:... -
Page 19: Using Eye Cups
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) OBE-1-BA-e-1611... -
Page 20: Using Oil Immersion Objectives
5.9 Using oil immersion objectives The 100x objectives of the OBE-1 series are objectives which can be used with oil immersion (they are always marked with the word “OIL”). Using these generates a particularly high resolution for microscopic images. To use oil immersion correctly, please follow these steps. -
Page 21: Changing The Bulb
When doing this, it is helpful to use a screwdriver or similar tool. The defective fuse can be removed from its housing and be replaced with a new one. After that, you just need to insert the fuse housing back into the insertion point below the mains power supply socket. OBE-1-BA-e-1611... -
Page 22: Using Optional Accessories
There is the following way to carry out dark field applications. 1. A dark field attachment with an integrated black disk can be screwed into the standard condenser of the microscope from below (see right illustration). Please take note of the instruction delivered with the dark field attachment. OBE-1-BA-e-1611... -
