4 Before use
4.1 General information
The packaging must be opened carefully to prevent the accessories inside from falling to the floor and breaking.
In general, a microscope should always be handled with great care, as it is a sensitive precision instrument. Avoiding abrupt movements during operation or transportation is therefore particularly important, especially to avoid endangering the optical components. You should also avoid dirt or fingerprints on the lens surfaces, as in most cases this impairs the sharpness of the image.
If the performance of the microscope is to be maintained, it must never be disassembled. Parts such as objective lenses and other optical components should therefore be left as they are at the start of operation.

9.3 Control elements
Magnification: Magnification of the camera. The middle of the magnification is determined by the position of the previous magnification of the scroll wheel; if the scroll wheel has not been magnified, it is set to the middle magnification by default. Note: The magnification is reset to 1.0X after opening the gallery. The magnification can also be increased using the mouse wheel.
Reduce: Reduce the magnification of the camera. The center of the magnification is determined by the position of the last magnification, the next magnification is determined by the position of the last magnification, etc. Note: The magnification is reset to 1.0X after opening the gallery. The mouse wheel can also reduce the magnification.
Move: If the current magnification factor is greater than 1.0, you can press and drag the left mouse button after clicking to move the current camera image.
Mirror horizontally: The entire image is mirrored horizontally. The result of this process is that the point in the top right-hand corner swaps position with the point in the top left-hand corner and the point in the bottom right-hand corner swaps position with the point in the bottom left-hand corner.
18
OIV-3-BA-d-2411
Vertical mirroring: The entire image is mirrored vertically. The result of this process is that the dot in the top right-hand corner swaps position with the dot in the bottom right-hand corner and the dot in the top left-hand corner swaps position with the dot in the bottom left-hand corner.
To prevent damage to the focusing system, the left and right adjustment wheels of the coarse and fine drive must never be turned in opposite directions at the same time.
Freeze: Freezes the image displayed by the current camera. Note: Increase in power, decrease in magnification, horizontal tilting, vertical tilting, Monochrome and quad split screen cannot be performed in the current state. Freezing is automatically switched off when the gallery is opened.
Monochromatic: The color of the current frame is removed.
Comparison: After clicking, first open the gallery and then the photo or video to display the left and right frame. The left frame is the image of the current camera, and the right frame is the selected photo or video. The slider at the bottom moves to the left and right to show the incomplete display area of the camera image or the photo or video. Note: The video contrast is only effective when the video is being played.
Four-part screen: After clicking, the screen is divided into four parts. Left-click on one of the screens to freeze it and click again to unfreeze it. Click on the quartered screen again to exit the quad screen. Exit the quad screen automatically when you open the gallery or the contrast. Note: The measurement cannot be carried out if the quartering mode is open.

15 Maintenance, servicing and disposal
Disconnect the appliance from the power supply before carrying out maintenance, cleaning or repair work.
15.1 Maintenance and cleaning
The appliance must always be kept clean and regularly freed from dust. Before wiping the appliance when it gets wet, make sure that the power is switched off.
Glass components should preferably be wiped lightly with a lint-free cloth if they become dirty.
To wipe off oil stains or fingerprints from lens surfaces, the lint-free cloth is moistened with a mixture of ether and alcohol (70/30 ratio) and then used for cleaning
Ether and alcohol must always be handled with care as they are highly flammable substances. It is therefore essential to keep them away from naked flames and electrical appliances that are switched on and off and only use them in well-ventilated rooms.
However, organic solutions of this type should not be used to clean other components of the appliance. This could cause changes to the paintwork. It is sufficient to use a neutral cleaning agent for this purpose.
Other cleaning agents for the optical components include :
· Special cleaner for optical lenses · Special optical cleaning cloths · Bellows · Brush
If handled correctly and checked regularly, the microscope will function smoothly for many years
Should a repair nevertheless be necessary, please contact your KERN dealer or our Technical Service.
