Description
Fluorescence microscope KERN OBN 148 belongs to the professional OBN-14 series and is built for high-quality fluorescence microscopy of translucent, thin and low-contrast specimens, including immunofluorescence, FISH and DAPI staining. Robust construction and refined optics set a clear standard in this instrument class. Dimmable 20 W halogen transmitted light (Philips) works together with a 100 W epi-fluorescence incident unit to deliver strong, uniform illumination and excitation. The optical train features professional Köhler illumination with adjustable field diaphragm plus a centring and height-adjustable 1,25 Abbe condenser with regulable aperture diaphragm. A large mechanical cross stage with bilateral coaxial coarse and fine focus supports rapid, accurate specimen handling. The multi-position filter wheel (up to six filters) comes standard with B/G/UV/V fluorescence filters. Thanks to the modular system, additional eyepieces, objectives, colour filters, darkfield condensers, butterfly tube, polarisation and phase-contrast units can be added easily from manufacturer Kern. Scope of delivery includes a centring objective for fluorescence setup, dust cover, eyecups and a multilingual manual; camera use requires a C-mount adapter. Application areas span haematology, urology, gynaecology, dermatology, pathology, microbiology and parasitology, immunology, sewage plants, oncology, entomology, veterinary medicine, water analysis and breweries.

Questions about Fluorescence Microscope KERN OBN 148
What is this article?
Fluorescence Microscope KERN OBN 148 is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Kern for laboratory use. It sits in Light & fluorescence microscopes, inside Microscopy & histology, in Lab instruments.
A light microscope looks through a thin specimen. A fluorescence microscope adds a light source and filters matched to a dye, so only the labelled structure shows. The filter set has to match the dye's excitation and emission. A bright-field microscope without those filters cannot do that experiment.
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.
