Frequently Asked Questions - OBT 105 Kern
How do I change the LED bulb?
Turn off and unplug the microscope. Remove the bulb cover on the back. Gently pull out the old LED module and insert the new one. Replace cover and plug in.
What is the correct way to clean the lenses?
Use lens paper moistened with a drop of lens cleaning solution (or distilled water). Wipe in a circular motion from center out. Never use paper towels or alcohol.
Why can't I see anything through the eyepieces?
Check that the objective lens is clicked into place, the diaphragm is open, and the light intensity is turned up. Ensure the specimen is properly positioned.
How do I adjust the interpupillary distance?
While looking through both eyepieces, move the binocular tubes together or apart until you see a single circular field of view.
What is the maximum magnification?
The maximum total magnification is 1000x using the 100x oil immersion objective and the 10x eyepiece.
How do I use the oil immersion objective?
Focus on the specimen with the 40x objective first. Then rotate the nosepiece halfway between 40x and 100x, place a drop of immersion oil on the slide, and gently rotate the 100x objective into the oil. Use fine focus only.
The image is blurry and won't focus. What should I do?
Check that the slide is not upside down. Clean the lenses. Adjust the condenser height and diaphragm. Use the coarse focus knob first, then fine-tune with the fine focus knob.
How do I replace the fuse?
Unplug the microscope. The fuse holder is near the power socket. Pry it open, remove the old fuse, and insert a new one of the same rating (usually T1A/250V). Push back in.
Can I use batteries?
No, the OBT 105 requires an AC power adapter (100-240V). There is no battery compartment.
What maintenance is needed?
Regularly clean lenses and stage. Keep the microscope covered when not in use. Lubricate mechanical parts only as per service manual. Check for loose screws.
