Description
Blue microscope filter KERN OBB-A1174 is an optical microscopy accessory designed for instruments that accept a blue filter in the illumination train. In everyday laboratory and educational use it helps refine contrast and the visual character of the field during brightfield work, without altering objectives or the mechanical stand. The unit is supplied as one piece with a net weight of 0,10 kg and a gross weight of 0,20 kg, making it straightforward to keep as a spare alongside other microscope components. It is specified as suitable for OLE-1 and OLF-1 models, so sites that operate these series can align filter stock with their installed base. Available from manufacturer Kern, the filter is positioned as dedicated hardware within the microscopy accessories range. Compact packaging supports neat storage in shared instrument rooms and service kits. Teaching laboratories, routine analytical labs and facilities that standardise on OLE-1 or OLF-1 platforms can employ this blue filter to restore original illumination options, to equip additional matching stands, or to keep a ready replacement when filters are exchanged during maintenance or reconfiguration of the optical path.

Questions about Microscope Filter KERN OBB-A1174
What is this article?
Microscope Filter KERN OBB-A1174 is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Kern for laboratory use. It sits in Light & fluorescence microscopes, inside Microscopy & histology, in Lab instruments.
A light microscope looks through a thin specimen. A fluorescence microscope adds a light source and filters matched to a dye, so only the labelled structure shows. The filter set has to match the dye's excitation and emission. A bright-field microscope without those filters cannot do that experiment.
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.
