Description
Inverted microscope KERN OCM 166 is an inverse biological laboratory microscope intended for brightfield and fluorescence microscopy. Within the OCM series it offers an ergonomic, robust and highly stable construction with a very large working distance, ideal for observing and analysing cell cultures. Continuously adjustable 30 W halogen illumination ensures optimal brightfield illumination of the preparation. For fluorescence work an Osram 100 W HBO epi-fluorescence incident-light unit is provided, delivering strong illumination and excitation of fluorescent specimens. A dedicated Abbe N.A. 0,3 condenser with aperture diaphragm and 72 mm working distance enables reliable performance in brightfield, phase contrast and fluorescence modes. A trinocular tube is fitted as standard. The mechanical stage with specimen holder (Ø 110 mm) supports rapid, efficient operation; additional culture-dish holders are included or obtainable as accessories. Further options such as eyepieces, objectives, specimen holders and phase-contrast units can be added. Delivery includes a dust cover and operating instructions. Camera connection requires a C-mount adapter. Application areas cover research and breeding of cell and tissue cultures, especially viewing of specimens in culture vessels (flasks, dishes, microtiter plates) and translucent, thin, low-contrast, demanding samples such as living mammalian cells, tissue, microorganisms, immunofluorescence, FISH and DAPI staining. The microscope from manufacturer Kern suits professional cell-culture and fluorescence workflows.

Questions about Inverted Microscope KERN OCM 166
What is this article?
Inverted Microscope KERN OCM 166 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.
