Description
Transmitted light microscope KERN OBL 137 is a versatile laboratory instrument featuring infinity optics and fixed pre-centred Köhler illumination for demanding transmitted-light applications. Its robust, ergonomic stand enables safe and comfortable daily use, supported by strong, continuously dimmable 3 W LED illumination. The fixed pre-centred, focusable 1,25 Abbe condenser with aperture and field diaphragm provides simplified Köhler lighting without the possibility of shifting the centre. A large mechanical stage with specimen holder accommodates up to two preparations and is adjusted rapidly via bilateral coaxial coarse and fine focus drives. Offered by manufacturer Kern, the OBL 137 suits haematology, urology, gynaecology, dermatology, pathology, microbiology and parasitology, immunology, oncology, entomology, veterinary practice, water analysis and breweries, particularly for translucent, thin, low-contrast samples such as living mammalian cells, bacteria and tissue. Compatible accessories include eyepieces, objectives, colour filters, darkfield condenser, simple polarisation, phase-contrast sets and HBO or LED fluorescence units; a C-mount adapter is required for camera connection. Dust cover, eyecups and a multilingual manual are supplied.

Questions about Transmitted Light Microscope KERN OBL, 137
What is this article?
Transmitted Light Microscope KERN OBL, 137 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.
