Description
Transmitted light microscope KERN OBE 121 is an all-round transmitted-light microscope for school, training and laboratory use, combining a dynamic, robust and ergonomic design with practical everyday features. A smart storage compartment at the rear allows tidy cable stowage, and USB connection technology also enables power supply via an external power bank. Continuously dimmable 3 W LED illumination ensures brilliant specimen lighting. A height-adjustable, focusable 1,25 Abbe condenser with aperture diaphragm supports optimal light concentration, while the fully equipped mechanical stage is adjusted via bilateral coarse and fine drives and an ergonomic coaxial control for fast specimen positioning. A wide choice of eyepieces and objectives is available as accessories. Scope of delivery includes a dust cover, eyecups and a multilingual operating manual from manufacturer Kern. Typical fields include education, haematology, sediments and medical practice for translucent, thin, high-contrast, less demanding preparations such as plant tissue and stained cells or parasites. Net weight 4,6 kg.

Questions about Transmitted Light Microscope KERN OBE, 121
What is this article?
Transmitted Light Microscope KERN OBE, 121 is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Kern for laboratory use. It sits in Light & fluorescence microscopes, inside Microscopy & histology, in Lab instruments.
A light microscope looks through a thin specimen. A fluorescence microscope adds a light source and filters matched to a dye, so only the labelled structure shows. The filter set has to match the dye's excitation and emission. A bright-field microscope without those filters cannot do that experiment.
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.
