If you are using an extension cable, then the mains cable you use must be earthed. 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.

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-98-BA-e-1610...
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. Should repairs still be necessary, please contact your KERN dealer or our Technical Department. OZM-98-BA-e-1610...

You can fit a C-mount adapter to the appropriate connection point on the top of the microscope head for trinocular devices (OZM 983). This enables you to fit and use digital cameras (remove protective cap first) (see section 5.8). OZM-98-BA-e-1610...
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-9 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-98-BA-e-1610...
The pneumatic spring ensures the height adjustment of the upper part of the microscope stand. For varying the spring force, the adjustment screw on the middle joint of the stand must be used. Before performing this, the upper part needs to be kept in a completely depressed position (see lower picture). OZM-98-BA-e-1610...
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-98-BA-e-1610...
5.7 Brightness adjustment There is only the usage of incident illumination available when working with KERN stereo microscope sets. Therefor a LED ring light (see picture below) is required, that can be mounted to the bottom of the microscope head (see chapter 4 Assembly).
This means that when the device is used in trinocular mode, you will see one image in the left eyepiece and one on the reflex camera or monitor of the microscope camera. This means that the 3D effect is lost. OZM-98-BA-e-1610...

(0,3x, 0,5x) are used. In order to be able to bring both images into focus, the focus can be adjusted by those adapters. OZM-98-BA-e-1610...
You can fit these objectives by simply screwing them onto the bottom side of the microscope head. When you are doing this, you must avoid touching the objective lenses with your fingers or leaving any dust between the standard objective and the auxiliary objective. OZM-98-BA-e-1610...
The torque of the focus wheels is set too high The microscope head slips down The torque of the focus wheels is set too low while you are viewing the object Eyes get tired easily The dioptre adjustment is not correct The brightness adjustment is not correct OZM-98-BA-e-1610...
The device may only be opened by trained service engineers who have been authorised by KERN. 9 Disposal The packaging is made of environmentally-friendly materials, which you can dispose of at your local recycling centre.
