Description
Transmitted light microscope KERN OBS 106 is a robust school microscope designed for first steps in microscopy and biology teaching. Part of the KERN OBS series, it offers solid, straightforward construction with clear controls that are easy to operate in classroom and training settings. Continuously dimmable 0,5 W LED illumination provides even specimen lighting and long service life, while rechargeable batteries support mobile use away from a fixed power point. A height-adjustable, focusable 1,25 ABBE condenser with aperture diaphragm concentrates light for clear viewing of translucent preparations. Bilateral coarse and fine focus drives allow precise focusing, and a mechanical stage enables quick specimen positioning and scanning. Suitable eyepieces and objectives from the available range can be selected to match the task. Typical applications include primary and secondary education, vocational training and hobby work on thin, high-contrast samples such as plant tissue or stained cells and parasites. Net weight is 3,2 kg (gross 4,0 kg). This model from manufacturer Kern is supplied as a single unit for educational transmitted-light microscopy.
This article is part of Light & fluorescence microscopes, in Microscopy & histology.

Questions about Transmitted Light Microscope KERN OBS, 106
What is this article?
Transmitted Light Microscope KERN OBS, 106 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.
