Description
Inverted microscope KERN OCM 167 is an inverse biological laboratory microscope for brightfield and fluorescence applications. The OCM series is characterised by an ergonomic, robust and extra-stable design with a very large working distance, which is particularly advantageous for observation and analysis of cell cultures. A 5 W LED illumination system provides optimal brightfield lighting of the specimen. For fluorescence microscopy an Osram 5 W LED epi-fluorescence incident-light unit is available, ensuring excellent illumination and excitation of fluorescent preparations. A special Abbe N.A. 0,3 condenser with aperture diaphragm and a large working distance of 72 mm supports optimal work in brightfield, phase contrast and fluorescence. The series is equipped as standard with a trinocular tube. The mechanical stage including specimen holder (Ø 110 mm) allows fast and effective handling; further holders for culture dishes are included or offered as accessories. Additional options such as eyepieces, objectives, specimen holders and further phase-contrast units can be integrated. A dust cover and operating instructions are part of the scope of delivery. A C-mount adapter is required to connect a camera. Typical applications include research and cultivation of cell and tissue cultures, especially specimens in culture vessels (flasks, dishes, microtiter plates), and translucent, thin, low-contrast samples such as living mammalian cells, tissue, microorganisms, immunofluorescence, FISH and DAPI staining. This LED-based inverted microscope from manufacturer Kern is suited to modern cell-biology laboratories.

Questions about Inverted Microscope KERN OCM 167
What is this article?
Inverted Microscope KERN OCM 167 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.
