Description
Non-stress infinity plan microscope objective 40× / 0,65 KERN OBB-A1288 is a spring-loaded infinity-corrected plan objective intended for use without a cover glass. With a magnification of 40× and a numerical aperture of 0,65, this non-stress optic is suited to polarising and other advanced light-microscopy applications where strain-free imaging and plan field correction are important. The spring-loaded (retractable) front protects the lens and specimen during focusing near the sample surface. Supplied as one piece, the objective has a net weight of 0,30 kg and a gross weight of 0,60 kg, packed in a volume of 0,000104 m³ with approximate outer dimensions of 0,04 m height, 0,065 m width and 0,04 m depth. Manufactured by Kern, the OBB-A1288 infinity plan objective integrates into compatible infinity optical systems used in materials science, geology, and laboratory research. Its non-stress design supports polarisation contrast workflows, while the cover-glass-free specification matches setups that examine uncovered specimens. Laboratories needing a robust 40× / 0,65 plan objective with spring protection will find this unit a clear fit for professional microscopy benches.

Questions about Microscope Objective KERN OBB-A1288
What is this article?
Microscope Objective KERN OBB-A1288 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.
