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. OZL-47-BA-e-2310...
• 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.

• 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 474). This enables you to fit and use digital cameras (see section 5.9). OZL-47-BA-e-2310...
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 OZL-47 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. OZL-47-BA-e-2310...
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) OZL-47-BA-e-2310...
Useful external illumination units to use with the OZL-47 series microscopes are: • Ring illumination units (see figure below), usually LED. These lighting units require an extra power connection and, depending on the model, may also have an on/off switch and various lighting controls.
5.9 Fitting and adjusting a camera (OZL 474) You can connect special microscope cameras to trinocular devices in the OZL-47 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.
5.11 Changing the bulb The devices in the OZL-47 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.
The torque of the focus wheels is set too high The microscope head slips down The torque of the focus wheels is set too while you are viewing the object Eyes get tired easily The dioptre adjustment is not correct The brightness adjustment is not correct OZL-47-BA-e-2310...
