Description
Eliminate carriage drift during heavy mechanical fabrication checks using the Kern OZL 468C825 Rack Stereo Microscope. Built on a heavy-duty integrated rack-and-pinion mechanical stand, the focus block moves along a rigid vertical gear track, preventing the slippage and binding common on round friction posts when supporting heavy optical loads. Powered by a 0.7x to 4.5x Greenough zoom engine, it delivers continuous 7x to 45x magnification across high-eyepoint WF 10x/20 mm eyepieces with bilateral diopter equalization.
A pre-mounted 5.0 Megapixel CMOS camera links to the vertical photo tube via an integrated 0.5x C-mount reduction lens, streaming digital stills and live inspection video to PCs over USB 2.0. Dual independent 3W LED light sources handle illumination: an angle-adjustable overhead spot for surface profiling and a sub-stage transmitted panel for transparent parts, regulated by separate potentiometer dials on the 300 x 240 mm metal base plate. Standing 520 mm tall with the camera attached, the 6.0 kg frame operates on universal 100-240V AC power while the camera draws USB bus power.
Key Features of Kern OZL 468C825 Rack Stereo Microscope
A precision digital trinocular stereo zoom microscope featuring a heavy-duty rack-and-pinion stand and pre-mounted 5MP USB 2.0 camera. Combines 7x to 45x magnification with dual 3W LED lighting, a 0.5x C-mount adapter, rigid vertical gear guidance, and widefield 20 mm eyepieces.
- Continuous 7x to 45x zoom magnification driven by an 0.7x to 4.5x Greenough engine
- Pre-mounted 5.0 Megapixel CMOS camera sensor with high-speed USB 2.0 connectivity
- Integrated 0.5x optical C-mount reduction lens formats sensor field of view cleanly
- Heavy-duty integrated rack-and-pinion mechanical stand ensures rigid vertical travel
- Dual 3W LED lighting: angle-adjustable incident top spot plus sub-stage transmitted panel
- Independent variable potentiometer rotary controls on base for both lighting paths
- High-eyepoint WF 10x/20 mm widefield eyepieces with bilateral diopter adjustments
- Solid 6.0 kg cast-metal chassis with oversized 300 x 240 mm base platform
Integrated Rack-and-Pinion Stand & Greenough 3D Depth
Unlike loose column collars that can slip down the post, the machined rack-and-pinion track keeps vertical focus movements strictly on axis across dense specimen layers. The V-shaped Greenough optical path produces authentic stereoscopic depth, letting technicians manipulate micro-tweezers and deburring tools with natural hand-eye coordination. Achromatic multi-coated lenses preserve high-contrast color neutrality across the entire zoom curve.
Angle-Adjustable Surface Light & 5MP USB 2.0 Capture
The top 3W LED spotlight tilts manually to direct raking light into deep holes and across rough machining marks, while the cool sub-stage panel illuminates biological tissues without thermal drift. The pre-mounted 5MP CMOS camera connects to PC software for capturing calibrated dimensional photos, while the included calibration slide ensures accurate on-screen measurement logging. At 6.0 kg, the wide cast base keeps the microscope planted during active manual tool manipulation.
- Integrated rack-and-pinion carriage maintains rigid alignment without vertical slipping
- Angle-adjustable incident spotlight highlights surface flaws and micro-burrs
- Standardized C-mount hardware eliminates loose third-party camera adapters
