Description
The KERN OBL 14-15 phase-contrast microscope has been developed for the examination of thin and difficult-to-examine specimens with low contrast. The microscope comes as standard with two special phase-contrast objectives at 10× and 40×, whilst two further phase-contrast objectives at 20× and 100× are available as optional extras. The phase-contrast technique makes it possible to visualise almost transparent structures in the specimen without staining, making the microscope particularly well-suited for, for example, the examination of specimens from sewage treatment plants. The E-Plan objectives reduce blurring at the edges of the field of view and ensure a more uniform and sharp image. The robust and ergonomic stand, combined with a large cross-table with space for two slides, provides stable and comfortable working conditions. The microscope features a powerful, continuously adjustable 3 W LED illumination and a 1.25 Abbe condenser, which makes it easy to achieve Köhler-like illumination without moving the condenser.
On the trinocular model, a C-mount adapter is required to connect a camera.
Suitable specimens:
Translucent, thin specimens with low contrast and more challenging structures, e.g. live 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.
