Description
Achromatic microscope objective KERN OBB-A1564 is an E-Plan 40 x /0,65 lens intended for detailed brightfield observation in laboratory microscopy. Magnification of 40× with a numerical aperture of 0,65 and a working distance of 0,85 mm supports higher-resolution inspection of stained slides, cell preparations and fine structural detail. The spring-loaded (retractable) front assembly helps protect both the optic and the specimen if contact occurs during focusing. Anti-fungus treatment further safeguards the optical surfaces under typical laboratory humidity. Supplied as one piece, the objective has a net weight of 0,30 kg and a gross weight of 0,60 kg within compact packaging for convenient storage and replacement stocking. E-Plan achromatic correction delivers colour-corrected, flat-field imaging suitable for routine diagnostics, teaching laboratories and research screening at intermediate power. This objective from manufacturer Kern is designed for compatible microscope systems that accept standard achromatic E-Plan optics. It bridges overview work and oil-immersion examination, giving laboratories a durable mid-range optic for everyday specimen evaluation and documentation.

Questions about Microscope Objective KERN OBB-A1564
What is this article?
Microscope Objective KERN OBB-A1564 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.
