Description
Phase contrast slider is a universal microscopy accessory for introducing phase contrast capability on compatible microscope stands. Designed as a slide-in component, it enables phase contrast observation when used with matching phase objectives and condensers in the laboratory optical path. The universal configuration supports flexible deployment across suitable Kern microscope platforms that accept this slider format, making it practical for teaching labs, routine diagnostics and research setups that switch between brightfield and phase contrast. Supplied as one piece, the unit has a net weight of 0,10 kg and a gross weight of 0,40 kg, with packaging volume and outer dimensions suited to accessory drawers and service inventories. This phase contrast slider from manufacturer Kern forms part of the OBB microscopy accessory line and addresses laboratories that need a dedicated, clearly identified slider rather than a full condenser exchange for phase work. It is intended for users who already operate phase-ready optics and require the matching universal slider element to complete the contrast method on their instrument.

Questions about Phase-contrast slider KERN OBB-A1500
What is this article?
Phase-contrast slider KERN OBB-A1500 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.
