Operation and functionality
5.1 Getting started
After assembly, if the microscope is ready for use, then for
binocular
use, you must
let the
trinocular toggle rod
on the back of the microscope stay
slid-in
.
For trinocular use (camera connection) see section 5.9.
All important functions which relate to the use of the devices in this document are
described in the following sections.
5.2 Adjust 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 OZC-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.
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
eyepiece.
