KERN Phase Contrast Microscope - OBN 159 - Trinocular - Illumination (transmitted) Halogen - Objectives 4x,10x,20x,40x,100x
Please note for your order
- A C-mount adapter is required to connect a camera (see accessories)
KERN OBN 159
The OBN 159 is a professional phase contrast microscope that combines high optical performance with ergonomic design. It comes pre configured with everything you need for demanding laboratory applications, making it a ready to use solution for precise phase contrast imaging. Thanks to its robust construction and modular system, the OBN 159 can easily be adapted to meet the needs of advanced users in medicine, research, and industry.
Illumination is provided by a strong, continuously dimmable 3 W LED light source, delivering clear and consistent brightness. The microscope is equipped with a quintuple nosepiece, Infinity Plan phase contrast objectives, and a rotary phase condenser, ensuring optimal image contrast even with challenging specimens such as living cells, bacteria, and tissue. The professional Koehler illumination system, with adjustable field diaphragm and Abbe condenser (1.25, centreable, height adjustable), provides precision lighting for reproducible results.
The extra large mechanical stage offers plenty of working space and is combined with smooth coaxial coarse and fine focus controls on both sides for accurate and fatigue free operation. A wide range of accessories, including darkfield condensers, polarising units, filters, fluorescence modules, and a Butterfly Tube, make this microscope highly versatile and future proof.
