Kern OZL 445 Binocular Stereo Zoom Pillar LED Element

Description

Reclaim crowded workbench real estate during jewelry engraving and soldering using the Kern OZL 445 Compact Stereo Microscope. Built around a slim 230 x 180 mm pillar stand, this 4.0 kg workstation fits into narrow repair stations while delivering 7.5x to 36x continuous magnification via an 0.75x to 3.6x Greenough zoom engine. The 45-degree binocular viewing head rotates 360 degrees, fitted with widefield high-eyepoint WF 10x/21 mm eyepieces with bilateral diopter equalization across a 55 mm to 75 mm interpupillary range.

Dual illumination is integrated directly into the chassis: an angle-adjustable 0.35W LED top spotlight for metallic surface textures, and an independent 0.35W sub-stage LED panel for translucent samples. Independent electronic potentiometer dials on the base deck allow separate brightness regulation without thermal distortion. Standing 380 mm tall, the frame incorporates dual-sided rack-and-pinion coarse focus knobs, running on universal 100-240V AC power with internal transformer stabilization.

Key Features of Kern OZL 445 Compact Stereo Microscope

A compact binocular Greenough stereo zoom microscope featuring dual 0.35W LED illumination and an ultra-narrow bench footprint. Combines 7.5x to 36x magnification with widefield 21 mm eyepieces, rack-and-pinion focus mechanics, and independent base dimmer controls.

• Continuous 7.5x to 36x zoom magnification powered by an 0.75x to 3.6x Greenough core
• Dual 0.35W LED lighting: angle-adjustable incident top spot plus sub-stage transmitted panel
• Independent variable potentiometer rotary controls on base for both illumination circuits
• Widefield high-eyepoint WF 10x/21 mm eyepieces with bilateral diopter adjustments
• Dual-sided rack-and-pinion coarse focus drive with internal vertical gear guides
• Ultra-compact 230 x 180 mm metal stand base equipped with frosted glass and black/white plates
• Greenough stereoscopic layout yields genuine 3D spatial depth for delicate tool handling
• Solid 4.0 kg assembly mass provides steady, vibration-free benchtop support

Greenough 3D Depth & Angle-Adjustable Top Spotlight

The V-shaped Greenough optical pathway produces pronounced stereoscopic relief, making delicate hand-tool work like tweezer sorting, gem setting, and micro-soldering feel natural and precise. The overhead 0.35W LED illuminator tilts on a swivel joint, allowing technicians to throw directional raking light across engraving lines and solder joints to reveal subtle surface textures. Achromatic multi-coated lenses preserve high-contrast color neutrality across the entire zoom curve.

Ultra-Compact Bench Footprint & Dual-Source Lighting

Measuring just 230 x 180 mm at the base, the OZL 445 fits onto crowded watchmaker counters and dental technician desks without crowding out hand tools. Having independent dimmer controls for both the top spotlight and bottom panel lets technicians inspect opaque metal parts or switch to translucent plastic dental molds without swapping hardware. The dual-sided rack-and-pinion focus block moves smoothly along the vertical post.

• Ultra-compact baseplate preserves maximum workbench space for hand tools and soldering irons
• Angle-adjustable incident spotlight highlights surface flaws and micro-burrs
• Independent top and bottom LED dimmers deliver flexible contrast management
