Suitable replacement fuses are included with the delivery. 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. OZM-5-BA-e-1510...
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. OZM-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.

You can fit a C-mount adapter to the appropriate connection point on the top of the microscope head for trinocular devices (OZM 543, OZM 544). This enables you to fit and use digital cameras (remove protective cap first) (see section 5.9). OZM-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 OZM-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. OZM-5-BA-e-1510...
There is a metal ring which also ensures sufficient grip and which is fixed with a second screw (2) under the holder on the pillar. This metal ring proves to be particularly useful when the screw (1) on the holder is loosened, to swing the microscope head to the side. OZM-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) OZM-5-BA-e-1510...
(2), next to the switches, is for adjusting the brightness of the reflected light. Depending on which way you turn the wheel, the corresponding light will become lighter or darker. Control elements for the lighting unit OZM-5-BA-e-1510...
The light source is in the housing of the unit and is emitted through one or several optical fibre cables. These cables are flexible and therefore offer a large number of positioning options, so that the object being observed is perfectly illuminated. OZM-5-BA-e-1510...
(OZM 543, OZM 544) You can connect special microscope cameras and reflex cameras to trinocular devices in the OZM-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).
