Description
Transmitted light microscope KERN OBT 104 is a modern classroom microscope designed for instructional settings. Within the OBT series of high-quality school microscopes from manufacturer Kern, it combines straightforward controls, robustness and a modern appearance. Continuously dimmable 1 W LED illumination delivers optimal specimen lighting together with extended lamp life; optional battery operation allows mobile use. This model incorporates a height-adjustable, focusable 1,25 ABBE condenser with aperture diaphragm for effective light concentration. Precise focusing is carried out via bilateral coarse and fine drives, while a mechanical stage enables rapid working and specimen movement. A large choice of eyepieces and objectives is available. Scope of delivery includes a dust cover and operating instructions. Application areas span primary and secondary education, training and hobby use. Suitable samples are translucent, thin, high-contrast and relatively undemanding preparations, for example plant tissue or stained cells and parasites. Supplied as 1 pc with a net weight of 2,8 kg.

Questions about Transmitted Light Microscope KERN OBT, 104
What is this article?
Transmitted Light Microscope KERN OBT, 104 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.
