Description
Infinity planachromatic microscope objective 5 x / 0,13 with 24,23 mm working distance is a low-magnification lens designed for infinity-corrected optical systems that require generous clearance above the specimen. The 5× magnification and numerical aperture of 0,13 deliver a wide, flat field suited to overview imaging, sample orientation, and coarse structural assessment, while planachromatic correction supports even focus and colour performance across the viewed area.
This article is part of Microscope objectives, eyepieces & optics, in Microscopy & histology.
The long working distance of 24,23 mm facilitates handling of thicker samples, culture vessels, or accessories under the objective without compromising access. Packed as 1 piece, the unit has a net weight of about 0,30 kg and a gross packaged weight near 0,60 kg, convenient for instrument builds and spare-parts inventory. Typical laboratory uses include brightfield screening, educational microscopy, and preparatory inspection before higher-power observation. This infinity planachromatic objective for large working distance (5 x / 0,13, 24,23 mm) comes from manufacturer Kern as OBB-A1525 and integrates into compatible infinity microscope stands where reliable low-power plan optics and ample specimen clearance are required.

Questions about Microscope Objective KERN OBB-A1525
What is this article?
Microscope Objective KERN OBB-A1525 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.
