Description
Transmitted light microscope KERN OBE 122 is an all-round instrument for school, training and laboratory work on translucent, thin, high-contrast preparations such as plant tissue or stained cells and parasites. Its exclusive, dynamic design combines robustness with ergonomic handling for everyday teaching and routine use. A smart storage compartment on the rear keeps the power cable tidy, while USB connection also allows supply from an external power bank. Continuously dimmable 3 W LED illumination delivers brilliant, even lighting of the specimen. The integrated butterfly tube provides a comfortable viewing angle, and the height-adjustable, focusable 1,25 Abbe condenser with aperture diaphragm ensures optimal light concentration—a hallmark of the OBE series from manufacturer Kern. Height adjustment of the fully equipped mechanical stage is performed via bilateral coarse and fine drives; an ergonomic coaxial control supports fast specimen positioning. A wide range of eyepieces and objectives is available as accessories. Scope of delivery includes a dust cover, eyecups and a multilingual operating manual. Typical application areas include education, haematology, sediment examination and medical practice.

Questions about Transmitted Light Microscope KERN OBE, 122
What is this article?
Transmitted Light Microscope KERN OBE, 122 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.
