Description
Dark field insert KERN OBB-A1148 is a microscopy accessory intended for dark field observation with objectives in the 4×–40× range. It provides a dedicated optical insert for compatible microscope systems where dark field contrast is required for specimen viewing. The unit is supplied as 1 pc with a net weight of 0,10 kg and a gross weight of 0,50 kg. Packaging dimensions are 0,02 m height, 0,02 m width and 0,02 m depth, giving a packaging volume of 0,000008 m³. This dark field insert from manufacturer Kern sits within the microscopy accessories category and supports configuration of dark field capability on setups that accept the OBB-A1148 insert type for the stated objective magnifications. Logistics data list China as the country of origin. The compact form factor and defined objective range make the insert a practical choice when extending an existing microscope for dark field work without changing the core optical path beyond the insert itself. Classification under UNSPSC microscopy groupings reflects its role as specialised optical accessory hardware for laboratory imaging.

Questions about Darkfield unit KERN OBB-A1148
What is this article?
Darkfield unit KERN OBB-A1148 is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Kern for laboratory use. It sits in Microscopy accessories, inside Microscopy & histology, in Lab instruments.
Microscopy accessories are the stages, the holders, the bulbs and the cameras' adapters that are not the objective and not the slide. A C-mount adapter of the wrong factor crops or vignettes the image. The accessory has to name the microscope it fits.
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.
