Description
Video microscope KERN OIV 656 is a professional axial-optics system designed to optimise digital stereo microscopy, giving direct and uncomplicated on-screen presentation of samples. Standard LED ring incident illumination ensures optimal lighting of the specimen. Combined with the large working surface, screen-based capture is ideal for observation, analysis and documentation in industrial applications. Outstanding optics provide continuously sharp image guidance across the entire zoom spectrum of 0,7× to 4,5×. Integrated auto-focus further optimises sharpness within a defined image section. The eyepiece-free microscope’s 2 MP camera, via HDMI output, supports smooth live observation of samples on an HD monitor. Intuitive software, a USB stick and a USB mouse—all included—enable straightforward digital editing and storage of results. The instrument supports software-controlled image and video recording with additional documentation functions. This model from manufacturer Kern is supplied with a multilingual operating manual and is intended as a complete workstation solution for digital stereo microscopy tasks requiring reliable live viewing, auto-focus assistance and efficient result documentation in laboratory or production settings.

Questions about Video Microscope KERN OIV 656
What is this article?
Video Microscope KERN OIV 656 is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Kern for laboratory use. It sits in Digital & USB microscopes, inside Microscopy & histology, in Lab instruments.
A digital or USB microscope is a camera with optics, useful for inspection and for a quick shared image. It does not replace a compound microscope when the method needs a stated numerical aperture and a fluorescence filter. Magnification claims on these are often a screen magnification, not an optical one.
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.
