Description
The KERN OBN 13-15 microscope has been developed for demanding laboratory tasks and offers high optical quality at all magnifications. The microscope is equipped with five different Infinity Plan objectives, which ensure a sharp and uniform image with minimal blurring at the edges of the field of view. The microscope features a powerful, continuously adjustable 3 W LED illumination system and a 1.25 Abbe condenser, making it easy to achieve Köhler illumination without moving the condenser. The Infinity optics allow the microscope to be expanded with various modules, including phase contrast, fluorescence, darkfield and polarisation. This offers great flexibility when examining diverse and more demanding specimens. All models in the OBN series are trinocular and designed for connection to a microscope camera. A C-mount adapter is required to connect the camera.
The OBN 158 and OBN 159 models are supplied with a pre-installed phase-contrast unit, making them particularly suitable for low-contrast specimens.
Suitable specimens:
Translucent, thin specimens with low contrast and more complex structures, e.g. living mammalian cells, bacteria and tissue samples.
Areas of application:
Haematology, urology, gynaecology, dermatology, pathology, microbiology, parasitology, immunology, oncology and entomology. Veterinary practices, water and wastewater analysis, breweries, medical laboratories. Health authorities and healthcare institutions. Educational centres and universities.
Magnification:
40x / 100x / 200x / 400x / 1000x
Field of view:
5 mm / 2 mm / 1 mm / 0.5 mm / 0.2 mm
Differences between the models:
OBN 135: 3 W LED
OBN 158: 20 W halogen – 10x, 20x, 40x, 100x phase-contrast lenses
OBN 159: 3 W LED – 10x, 20x, 40x, 100x phase-contrast lenses
The KERN OBN can also be ordered as a digital kit with a camera or tablet. See OBN-S for the digital solutions.
