The Kern OKN series is equipped with a binocular style eyepiece as standard. It is also possible to buy a special version of the unit with a trinocular head, allowing a digital camera to be attached to the microscope (please call if interested in this variation).
This microscope is powered by standard 230V mains connection and includes Kern's 3 year manufacturer's warranty as standard.
