Operation and functionality
5.1 Getting started
After assembly, if the microscope is ready for use, then for devices with lighting (OZO
552, OZO 554, OZP 556, OZP 558) you must first establish a
power connection
using the cable supplied.
Please see section 5.7 for more details on adjusting the lighting.
If the device has a camera connection (OZO 553, OZO 554, OZP 557, OZP 558),
then for
binocular
use, you must first set the
trinocular toggle wheel
on the front of
the microscope head to
“B”
.
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 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 tube connector firmly.
By pulling them apart or pushing them together, 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 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.
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.
