5.3 Adjusting the magnification As the KERN OSF-4G series covers stereo microscopes (without zoom), we will describe how to set the magnification using the integrated and rotating objective. For the devices in this series, you can select between three different magnification factors at any time.
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. OSF-4G-BA-e-1510...
