Description
Microscope objective KERN OBB-A1442 is an achromatic E-Plan dry objective offering 100 x magnification with a numerical aperture of 0,8. A working distance of 0,15 mm and spring-loaded mechanics support high-power dry observation without immersion oil, which simplifies sample handling and cleaning between slides. E-Plan correction improves field flatness relative to basic achromats, aiding consistent detail across the viewed area. The optic is aimed at infinity-compatible or matching microscope platforms used in teaching labs, quality control and routine brightfield work where dry 100 x performance is preferred. Packaged as a single piece with about 0,30 kg net weight and 0,60 kg gross weight, it is suitable as a replacement or expansion lens for multi-objective nosepieces. Available from manufacturer Kern within the microscopy accessories range, this dry E-Plan unit balances magnification, numerical aperture and practical working distance for everyday laboratory imaging. Compact carton dimensions help keep spare optics organised in instrument stores and service kits.
This article is part of Microscope objectives, eyepieces & optics, in Microscopy & histology.

Questions about Microscope Objective KERN OBB-A1442
What is this article?
Microscope Objective KERN OBB-A1442 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.
