Description
Quartz wedge is a microscopy accessory for polarising optical systems, specified as a Class I–IV quartz wedge for retardation and compensation work. It is used where a continuously variable path difference across the field is required, supporting qualitative and comparative assessment of birefringent specimens under crossed polars. The accessory is supplied as one piece for laboratory microscopes and related optical benches in teaching, materials and life-science environments. Net weight is 0,20 kg and gross weight is 0,50 kg; packaging volume and outer dimensions remain compact for instrument drawers and accessory cases. This quartz wedge comes from manufacturer Kern under type OBB-A1320 and sits within the microscopy accessories category. Country of origin is China.

Questions about Quartz Wedge KERN OBB-A1320
What is this article?
Quartz Wedge KERN OBB-A1320 is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes KERN for laboratory use. It sits in Microscopy accessories, inside Microscopy & histology, in Lab instruments.
Microscopy accessories are the stages, the holders, the bulbs and the cameras' adapters that are not the objective and not the slide. A C-mount adapter of the wrong factor crops or vignettes the image. The accessory has to name the microscope it fits.
A light microscope forms an image with glass lenses and transmitted or reflected light. A stereo microscope is the lower-magnification instrument for dissecting and for looking at a surface. Fluorescence needs a light source and filters matched to the dye. Histology is the preparation that makes a tissue readable: fixation, a cassette, a section, a stain. The objective's magnification and numerical aperture decide the resolution. The slide and the cover glass decide whether the section sits in the focal plane. Stains and dyes as substances are identified on PubChem. Papers on the methods are on PubMed.
