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 (if lighting unit is fitted). When glass components become dirty, the best way to clean them is to wipe them gently with a lint-free cloth. -

Page 10: Assembly
4 Assembly The first step is to position the microscope stand on a firm, level surface. The term stand covers the stand base (standing surface) as well as the metal pillar which is connected to it. 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 11 Assembled stereo zoom microscope OZO-5_OZP-5-BA-e-1510...

Page 12: Operation And Functionality
5.3 Adjusting the magnification As the KERN OZO-5 and OZP-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. -
Page 13: 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 14: 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 15: 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 16: Brightness Adjustment
5.7 Brightness adjustment (OZO 552, OZO 554, OZP 556, OZP 558) For microscopes which have integrated lighting, the necessary on/off switches are on the righthand side of the stand base on/off switch (see figure). Provided that the main switch is switched on, you can operate the reflected light and transmitted light using these two switches. -
Page 17: Using External Illumination Units
5.8 Using external illumination units If, when using a microscope in its standard version, the lighting is not suitable for the application, then it often makes sense to fit an external lighting unit to overcome this problem. These lighting units are divided into two groups. ... -
Page 18: Fitting And Adjusting A Camera
(OZO 553, OZO 554, OZP 557, OZP 558) You can connect special microscope cameras and reflex cameras to trinocular devices in the OZO-5 and OZP-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). - Page 19 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. To fit a microscope camera properly, you must use an adapter with a C-mount thread, which is put in the adapter connection once the cap is removed.

Page 20: Using Additional Accessories
Dark field kit and object clamp Microscopes from the OZO-5 and OZP-5 series are ideal for dark field applications. Dark field attachments and object clamps are available as accessories for these applications. - Page 21 Angle table Standard angle table Angle table for using transmitted light For easier handling of an object to be observed, it can be useful to fit an additional mechanical angle table on the working surface of a stereo microscope. For devices without lighting you can use a standard angle table (see left figure). However if there is an integrated transmitted lighting unit, you should use a special angle table with transmitted light compatibility (see right figure).

Page 22: Changing The Bulb
5.11 Changing the bulb Devices from the OZO-5 and OZP-5 series with lighting units 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. -
