Description
PH slider KERN OBB-A1608 is a phase contrast microscopy accessory designed for use with infinity PH plan objectives in laboratory imaging workflows. This component supports phase contrast observation by enabling controlled insertion of the appropriate phase annulus into the optical path, helping laboratories visualise unstained or low-contrast specimens with improved structural detail. Supplied as a single piece with a net weight of 0,20 kg and a gross weight of 0,40 kg, the unit is compact and practical for routine bench use and instrument configuration. Packaging volume is 0,00015 m³, with outer dimensions of 0,02 m height, 0,15 m width and 0,05 m depth, which simplifies storage and inventory handling in microscopy suites. The accessory belongs to the microscopy accessories category and is intended for integration into compatible phase contrast setups where infinity-corrected PH plan optics are employed. Offered from manufacturer Kern, the OBB-A1608 slider is a dedicated spare or upgrade part for maintaining consistent phase contrast performance on matching microscope systems. It is suited to teaching laboratories, research groups and quality-control environments that rely on phase contrast for cell morphology, microbiology and materials inspection without staining.

Questions about PH Slider KERN OBB-A1608
What is this article?
PH Slider KERN OBB-A1608 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.
