Assembly - KERN Optics OZL 46 Series User Instructions

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).
Please see section 5.5 for more details on adjusting the stand.
The next step is to place the microscope head on the holder, by passing the
objective through the holder ring until the rest of the head is above the ring.
You must use the small silver adjusting screw on the front of the holder ring to fix the
head in place.
The alignment of the microscope head is left to the user to do and can be adjusted to
suit the individual application situations.
To make it easier to operate the focus wheels or lighting control for example, we
recommend that you position the head with the tube connectors centrally to the front.
Ideally, the holder and head are then parallel on the central axis of the stand base
(see nomenclature on page 6).
Then you can remove the protective caps from the tube connectors so that you can
then fit the eyepieces. When doing this, please be particularly careful that you do
not touch the optical lenses with your fingers and that no dust enters the
apertures.
You should also never fit two eyepieces with different magnifications.
With regard to the use of transmitted light illumination you must make sure that
the frosted glass stand insert is fitted in the centre of the stand base, so that the
transmitted light can be used correctly.
Also, when using reflected light please make sure, that the according light unit is
mounted to the underside of the holder and the connection cable between the
holder and upper side of the pillar is plugged in (see nomenclature on page 6).
Additional optional attachments:
 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 for trinocular devices (OZL 464). This enables you to
fit and use digital cameras (see section 5.9).
