Description
Stereo zoom microscope KERN OZM 542 combines strong optics with flexible illumination for demanding stereo observation tasks. Part of the KERN OZM-5 series from manufacturer Kern, the instrument offers above-average optical performance in an ergonomic form that supports comfortable work over extended periods. Continuously dimmable 3 W LED incident and transmitted illumination ensures powerful, adaptable lighting of the specimen. A large working distance, extra-large field of view and brilliant resolution deliver colour-true, high-contrast images with excellent depth of field. The zoom objective provides continuous magnification from 0,7× to 4,5×. A robust column stand with variable adjustment mechanics enables flexible, ergonomic positioning at the workplace. Dust cover, eyecups and a multilingual operating manual are included; eyepieces, stands, external illuminators, auxiliary objectives and a dark-field insert are available as accessories. Application areas include in-vitro fertilisation, parasite detection, zoology and botany, tissue preparation, sectioning, quality control, electronics and semiconductor work, plus assembly or repair of samples that benefit from spatial depth perception. Supplied as 1 piece with a net weight of 4,8 kg.

Questions about Stereo Zoom Microscope KERN OZM 542
What is this article?
Stereo Zoom Microscope KERN OZM 542 is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Kern for laboratory use. It sits in Stereo microscopes, inside Microscopy & histology, in Lab instruments.
A stereo microscope gives a low-magnification, upright, three-dimensional view for dissecting, for sorting and for inspecting a surface. It is not the instrument for a stained section at high power. Working distance and zoom range are the choices.
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.
