Description
The microscope objective KERN OBB-A1476 is an achromatic objective offering 4 x magnification with a numerical aperture of 0,1 and a working distance of 18 mm. It is intended for low-power overview imaging in brightfield microscopy, enabling rapid scanning of slides, culture vessels and prepared specimens before higher-magnification examination. The generous working distance supports comfortable specimen handling and reduces the risk of contact with coverslips or sample surfaces during routine work.
This article is part of Microscope objectives, eyepieces & optics, in Microscopy & histology.
Packaged as one piece, the objective has a net weight of 0,30 kg and a gross weight of 0,60 kg. Optical data of 4 x / 0,1 with 18 mm working distance make it a practical choice for teaching laboratories, pathology support benches and industrial inspection stations that rely on standard achromatic correction. This objective is available from manufacturer Kern and belongs to the common microscopy accessory category used to complete or refresh objective turrets.
Users benefit from a clearly specified low-power lens that delivers consistent overview images when matched with suitable eyepieces and illumination. The compact packaging dimensions facilitate storage alongside other objectives and spare parts. Select the KERN OBB-A1476 when a defined achromatic 4 x / 0,1 objective with 18 mm working distance is required for everyday laboratory microscopy workflows.

Questions about Microscope Objective KERN OBB-A1476
What is this article?
Microscope Objective KERN OBB-A1476 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.
