Description
100x infinity lens, planachromatic is a high-magnification objective for laboratory microscopes in the OBL and OBN series, designed as a spring-loaded, water-immersion planachromatic optic for infinity-corrected tube systems. The 100× magnification supports detailed examination of fine cellular and material structures when water is used as the immersion medium between cover glass and front lens. Planachromatic correction aims at a flat field with reduced chromatic aberration across the viewing area, which is valuable for documentation and routine high-power observation. The objective is supplied as a single unit with a weight of 0,140 kg, making it a compact interchangeable component for compatible stands. It is intended for OBL- and OBN-series configurations used in phase contrast and related microscopy applications where water immersion at 100× is preferred over oil for specific protocols. This lens from manufacturer KERN belongs to the microscopes and accessories range for optical instruments and lamps. Pack size is one piece, ready for nosepiece mounting on suitable infinity-corrected OBL or OBN systems requiring a spring-protected water-immersion planachromat.
This article belongs on Microscope objectives, eyepieces & optics, in Microscopy & histology.

Questions about 100x infinity lens, planachromatic, (spring, water) for OBL-/OBN-serie
What is this article?
100x infinity lens, planachromatic, (spring, water) for OBL-/OBN-serie 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.
