Description
The microscope objective KERN OBB-A1562 is an achromatic E-Plan objective with 4 x magnification, numerical aperture 0,1 and a working distance of 14,5 mm, finished with an anti-fungus treatment. This microscopy accessory is intended for compatible microscope nosepieces where low-magnification survey imaging and a generous working distance are required. Supplied as 1 pc, the objective has a net weight of 0,30 kg and a gross weight of 0,60 kg. Packaging height is 0,04 m, width 0,065 m and depth 0,04 m, giving a packaging volume of 0,000104 m³. The unit comes from manufacturer Kern as part of the microscopy accessories range and combines achromatic E-Plan correction with anti-fungus protection for routine laboratory use. Teaching labs, research groups and quality-control stations can deploy this 4 x / 0,1 objective when a 14,5 mm working distance and fungal-resistant optics are specified. Country of origin is China. Offered as a single piece per pack, the OBB-A1562 supports replacement or expansion of objective sets on instruments that accept this E-Plan achromatic configuration.

Questions about Microscope Objective KERN OBB-A1562
What is this article?
Microscope Objective KERN OBB-A1562 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.
