Description
Transmitted light microscope KERN OBE 132 is a dynamic all-round instrument intended for school, training and laboratory use. The exclusive design balances robustness with ergonomics and includes a rear storage compartment for the power cable plus USB connection that supports operation from an external powerbank. Continuously dimmable 3 W LED illumination provides brilliant specimen lighting. A standard integrated butterfly tube offers an ideal viewing angle, while the height-adjustable, focusable 1,25 Abbe condenser with aperture diaphragm guarantees optimal light bundling—another quality feature of the OBE series. Bilateral coarse and fine drives control the height of the fully equipped mechanical stage, and an ergonomic coaxial drive allows fast specimen positioning and movement. Numerous eyepieces and objectives are available as accessories. Application fields include education, haematology, sediments and medical practice; the microscope suits translucent, thin, high-contrast, less demanding preparations such as plant tissue or stained cells and parasites. Delivery includes a dust cover, eyecups and a multilingual operating manual from manufacturer Kern.

Questions about Transmitted Light Microscope KERN OBE, 132
What is this article?
Transmitted Light Microscope KERN OBE, 132 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.
