KERN Inverted Microscope OCM-1

KERN Inverted Microscope OCM-1
The inverted biological laboratory microscope - also with fluorescence

• The OCM-1 series is characterised by its ergonomic, robust and extra stable design. This design, with its very large working distance, is particularly suitable for the observation and analysis of cell cultures, for example.
• A powerful and continuously adjustable 30 W halogen illumination ensures optimal illumination in the bright field of your specimen. As a fluorescence microscope (OCM 165), an additional Osram 100 W epi-fluorescence illumination unit is available for perfect illumination and excitation of your fluorescence preparations
• A special Abbe N.A.-0.3 condenser with aperture diaphragm and large working distance of 72 mm ensures optimal work in brightfield, phase contrast and fluorescence applications
• The OCM-1 series is equipped as standard with a trinocular tube
• The mechanical specimen stage including specimen holder (diameter 118 mm) enables fast and effective work. Further holders for cultus shells are included in the scope of delivery or available as accessories
• Further options such as a selection of eyepieces, objectives, object holders and further phase contrast units can be integrated as accessories (on request)
• A dust cover and operating instructions are included in the scope of delivery

Field of application
Research and cultivation of cell cultures and tissue cultures

Applications/samples
Especially observation of specimens in culture vessels (bottles, dishes, microtitre plates), translucent and thin, low-contrast, challenging specimens (e.g. living mammalian cells, tissue, possibly also microorganisms, immunofluorescence, FISH, DAPI staining, etc.).
