Description
Infinity PH plan objective 20 x is an infinity-corrected phase contrast plan microscope objective for detailed laboratory imaging. It delivers 20 x magnification in a plan layout suited to infinity optical trains used in routine and advanced microscopy. The PH (phase contrast) specification is intended for use with matching phase contrast condensers and illumination on compatible stands. Supplied as 1 pc, the objective has a net weight of 0,30 kg and a gross weight of 0,60 kg; packaging volume is 0,000104 m³ with outer dimensions of 0,04 m height, 0,065 m width and 0,04 m depth. As a microscopy accessory from manufacturer Kern (OBB-A1606), it forms part of the Infinity PH-Plan objective range for equipping infinity microscopes. Plan optics support a flat image field for observation, instruction and documentation across the working field. The 20 x magnification step is commonly chosen when finer structural detail is needed beyond low-power overview while remaining within standard infinity phase contrast workflows. Compact single-piece packaging aids inventory control and instrument build-up in research, teaching and quality-control laboratories standardised on Kern infinity components.

Questions about Infinity PH-Plan-objective KERN, OBB-A1606
What is this article?
Infinity PH-Plan-objective KERN, OBB-A1606 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.
