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. When using or transporting the microscope it is

particularly important to avoid abrupt movements, as this may damage the optical

components.

You should also avoid getting dirt or finger prints on the lens surface, because in

most cases this will reduce image clarity.

To maintain the performance of the microscope, it must never be disassembled. So

components such as lenses and other optical elements should be left as they were

before use. Also the electrical parts in the base of the device must not be tampered

with, as in this area there is an additional risk of triggering an electric shock.

1.2 Notes on the electrical system

Before connecting to a mains power supply, you must make sure that you are using

the correct input voltage. The information to select the correct power supply is

located on the device, on the rear of the stand base. You must comply with this

information. If you do not comply with these specifications, then fires or other

damage to the device could occur.

The lighting unit must also be switched off before the mains cable is connected. In

this way you will avoid triggering an electric shock.

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.

OZL-46-BA-e-1610 4

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.

The device should always be located on a rigid, smooth, horizontal surface.

For devices with pillar stands, the microscope holder must not be rotated back too

far. If you do this, there is a risk that the microscope could tip over.

When the microscope is not being used, you should fit the objective cap and cover

the microscope with the enclosed dust protective cover.

If the eyepieces are being stored separately, the protective caps must be fitted to the

tube connectors. 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.

5 OZL-46-BA-e-1610

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.

When glass components become dirty, the best way to clean them is to wipe them

gently with a lint-free cloth.

To wipe oil stains or finger prints off the lens surface, moisten the lint free cloth with a

mixture of ether and alcohol (70 / 30 ratio) and use this to clean the lens.

You must be careful when handling ether and alcohol, as these are highly flammable

substances. You must therefore keep it away from naked flames and electrical

devices which can be switched on and off, and only use it in well-ventilated rooms.

However organic solutions of this type should not be used to clean other components

of the device. This could lead to damage to the paint finish. To do this, it is sufficient

to use a neutral cleaning product.

You could also use the following cleaning products to clean the optical components:

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.

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).

5 Operation and functionality

5.1 Getting started

After assembly, if the microscope is ready for use, then you must first establish a

power connection using the cable which is connected to the device.

Please see section 5.7 for more details on adjusting the lighting.

If the device has a camera connection (OZL 464), then for binocular use, you must

let the trinocular toggle rod on the left side of the microscope head stay slid-in.

For trinocular use (camera connection) see section 5.9.

Do not forget to remove the cap from the bottom of the objective, so that you will then

be able to see a reflection of the object being observed in the eyepiece.

All important functions which relate to the use of the devices in this document are

described in the following sections.

5.2 Adjusting the interpupillary distance

Different users have different interpupillary distances. So each time a different person

uses the microscope, the gap between the two eyepieces must be re-adjusted.

While you are looking through the eyepieces, use one hand to hold the righthand or

lefthand prism housing firmly.

By rotating outwards or inwards, you can either increase or reduce the interpupillary

distance.

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-46 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.

Chapter 6 “Optical data” gives information on the possible overall magnification which

the microscope can produce. It will also include the optional use of different

eyepieces and auxiliary objectives.
