Description
Inverted microscope KERN OCM 161 is an inverse biological laboratory microscope designed for brightfield, phase contrast and fluorescence work. Its ergonomic, robust and extra-stable construction provides a very large working distance, making it especially suitable for observing and analysing cell cultures in culture vessels such as flasks, dishes and microtiter plates. Continuously adjustable 30 W halogen illumination delivers even brightfield lighting of the specimen. A dedicated Abbe N.A. 0,3 condenser with aperture diaphragm and 72 mm working distance supports optimal performance in brightfield, phase contrast and fluorescence applications. The instrument is supplied as standard with a trinocular tube. A mechanical stage including an object holder (Ø 110 mm) enables fast, efficient handling; additional holders for culture dishes are included or available as accessories. Further options such as eyepieces, objectives, object holders and phase-contrast units can be integrated. A dust cover and operating manual are part of the delivery; a C-mount adapter is required for camera connection. This model from manufacturer Kern is intended for research and cultivation of cell and tissue cultures, including translucent, low-contrast specimens such as living mammalian cells, tissue, immunofluorescence, FISH and DAPI staining.

Questions about Inverted Microscope KERN OCM 161
What is this article?
Inverted Microscope KERN OCM 161 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.
