Description
Operating with an internal rechargeable NiMH battery pack, the Kern OBE 113 Rechargeable Microscope delivers cordless 1000x oil-immersion screening. It frees clinical technicians from wall outlet restrictions during field diagnostics and remote veterinary exams. Powered by a finite 160 mm optical system, it delivers 40x, 100x, 400x, and 1000x magnification via four achromatic objectives: 4x/0.10, 10x/0.25, spring-loaded 40x/0.65, and spring-loaded 100x/1.25 oil immersion.
Transmitted light is supplied by a cordless 3W LED module focused through an Abbe 1.25 NA condenser equipped with an iris diaphragm and filter slot. The 30-degree inclined binocular head rotates 360 degrees, fitted with paired widefield WF 10x/18 mm eyepieces with left-tube diopter adjustment across a 50 mm to 75 mm interpupillary span. The 125 x 115 mm mechanical stage provides 50 x 30 mm of drop-down coaxial XY translation, while coaxial coarse and fine focus knobs feature 2-micron graduations across a 4.7 kg frame running on battery power or multi-voltage 100-240V AC charging lines.
Key Features of Kern OBE 113 Rechargeable Microscope
A portable cordless high-magnification laboratory binocular compound microscope featuring internal rechargeable battery power and achromatic optics. Combines 40x to 1000x magnification with a 3W LED light engine, Abbe 1.25 NA condenser, and a double-layer mechanical stage.
- Cordless operation via internal rechargeable NiMH battery pack with universal AC charger
- Achromatic finite 160 mm objectives: 4x, 10x, spring-loaded 40x, and 100x oil immersion
- Rechargeable 3W LED transmitted illumination module with continuous rotary dimmer
- Height-adjustable Abbe 1.25 NA condenser equipped with an adjustable iris diaphragm
- Double-layer 125 x 115 mm mechanical stage with 50 x 30 mm coaxial XY travel controls
- Coaxial coarse and fine focus drive with calibrated 2-micrometer fine division markings
- Binocular viewing head inclined at 30 degrees with 50 mm to 75 mm eye spacing
- Solid 4.7 kg cast-metal chassis provides complete vibration-free benchtop stability
Achromatic Optical System & Full 1000x Oil Immersion
Achromatic multi-coated objectives deliver sharp center resolution and dependable color contrast on stained blood smears, fecal parasites, and bacterial cultures. The 100x oil immersion objective resolves fine bacterial morphology and nuclear details with total clarity. Spring-loaded mounts on the 40x and 100x objectives cushion accidental contact, protecting both front glass elements and delicate specimen preparations.
Cordless Field Mobility & Coaxial Stage Mechanics
Tangled power cables create clutter on crowded diagnostic benches. The internal rechargeable battery pack keeps the microscope running all day on a single charge, allowing seamless transport between laboratory prep benches and remote field stations. The coaxial mechanical stage controls sit low to the table surface, giving technicians smooth two-axis slide tracking across a 50 x 30 mm area with resting forearms.
- Internal rechargeable batteries allow cordless microscopy anywhere in the field or lab
- Binocular viewing relieves eye strain during extended microscopic examination shifts
- Coaxial focus mechanics with 2-micron graduations provide delicate focal plane control
