Page 4: Before Use
1 Before use 1.1 General notes You must open the packaging carefully, to make sure that none of the accessories in the packaging fall on the floor and get broken. In general, microscopes should always be handled carefully because they are sensitive precision instruments. -
Page 5: Storage
1.3 Storage You should ensure that the device is not exposed to direct sunlight, temperatures which are too high or too low, vibrations, dust or a high level of humidity. The ideal temperature range is between 0 and 40°C and a relative humidity of 85% should not be exceeded. -
Page 6: Maintenance And Cleaning
1.4 Maintenance and cleaning In any event, the device must be kept clean and dusted regularly. If any moisture should be occur, before you wipe down the device you must ensure that the mains power is switched off. When glass components become dirty, the best way to clean them is to wipe them gently with a lint-free cloth. -

Page 9: Assembly
4 Assembly The first step is to position the microscope stand on a firm, level surface. The holder is already on pillar of the stand, but you must always check whether it is fixed securely and that it is in the correct position (preferably centrally and facing to the front). -
Page 10: Operation And Functionality
5 Operation and functionality 5.1 Getting started After assembly, if the microscope is ready for use, then 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. If the device has a camera connection (OZL 464), then for binocular use, you must let the trinocular toggle rod on the left side of the microscope head stay slid-in. -
Page 11: Dioptre Adjustment And Focussing
5.4 Dioptre adjustment and focussing A special feature of stereo microscopes is that they are fitted with an optical unit which has a relatively high depth of field. In order to be able get the most benefit from this feature, each user must synchronise the focussing mechanisms for themselves. The steps to do this are described in the following section. -
Page 12: Adjusting The Stand
5.5 Adjusting the stand Torque of the focus wheels You adjust the torque of the focus wheels by holding one of the two wheels in place and using the other hand to turn the other wheel. Depending on the direction of the turn, the torque will be increased or decreased. 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. -
Page 13: Using Eye Cups / High Eye Point Eyepieces
5.6 Using eye cups / High Eye Point eyepieces The eye cups supplied with the microscope can basically be used at all times, as they screen out intrusive light, which is reflected from light sources from the environment onto the eyepiece, and the result is better image quality. But primarily, if eyepieces with a high eye point (particularly suitable for those who wear glasses) are used, then it may also be useful for users who don’t wear glasses, to fit the eye cups to the eyepieces. -
Page 14: Lighting Control
5.7 Lighting control The microscopes in the OZL-46 series have an adjustable reflected and transmitted light illumination. The power supply is guaranteed by connecting the mains cable and pressing the main switch on the central rear section of the stand base. The control knob to the right of the main switch is responsible for the adjustment of the light intensity of the transmitted illumination. -
Page 15: Fitting And Adjusting A Camera
5.9 Fitting and adjusting a camera (OZL 464) You can connect special microscope cameras to trinocular devices in the OZL-46 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. When the trinocular toggle rod is pulled out, the beam path, which normally emits on the righthand eyepiece, is diverted in the tube, so that it can be used for the camera adapter connection. -
Page 16: Changing The Bulb
5.10 Changing the bulb The devices in the OZL-46 range with lighting 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. Problems with the lighting unit would therefore, in most cases, be caused by defects in the electrical system. -
