Description
Microscope condenser KERN OBB-A1102 is an Abbe condenser with numerical aperture 1,25 for transmitted-light microscopy. The unit is centreable and includes an aperture diaphragm, allowing the illumination cone to be aligned and adjusted to the objective in use. This optical accessory supports brightfield observation by concentrating and controlling light from the microscope illuminator onto the specimen plane, which is essential for contrast, resolution and even field illumination in routine laboratory microscopy. Supplied as a single piece, the condenser is intended as a dedicated component or spare for compatible KERN microscope configurations that accept the OBB-A1102 interface. The Abbe design with N.A. 1,25 from manufacturer Kern is a standard choice for many educational, clinical and industrial transmitted-light setups where centreable illumination and aperture control are required. Integration follows the mechanical and optical layout of the host stand; once fitted, centring and diaphragm settings can be optimised for each objective. Specify this condenser when an Abbe N.A. 1,25 centreable unit with aperture diaphragm is needed for your microscope system.

Questions about Microscope condenser KERN OBB-A1102
What is this article?
Microscope condenser KERN OBB-A1102 is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Kern for laboratory use. It sits in Microscope objectives, eyepieces & optics, inside Microscopy & histology, in Lab instruments.
An objective makes the resolution. Magnification and numerical aperture are the two numbers, and the tube length or the infinity correction has to match the microscope. An eyepiece mostly enlarges the image the objective already resolved. A mismatched objective does not become sharper by zooming.
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.
