Kern OBE 114 Trinocular Achromatic 3W LED Lab Device

Description

Eliminating camera mounting hassles during clinical training, the Kern OBE 114 Trinocular Microscope provides dedicated vertical video output. It features an integrated 23.2 mm photo port with an internal beam splitter on a 30-degree inclined trinocular head, letting you mount digital C-mount cameras while viewing through widefield WF 10x/18 mm eyepieces. Powered by a finite 160 mm optical track, it provides 40x, 100x, 400x, and 1000x magnification through 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 driven by a high-output 3W LED base module that produces cool, daylight-balanced white light without thermal specimen distortion. An Abbe 1.25 NA condenser features an adjustable iris diaphragm and filter slot, while the 125 x 115 mm mechanical stage provides 50 x 30 mm of drop-down coaxial XY translation. Built around a 4.9 kg cast-metal frame (320 x 180 x 360 mm), it includes coaxial coarse and fine focus knobs with 2-micron graduations on universal 100-240V AC power with an integrated electronic rotary dimmer.

Key Features of Kern OBE 114 Trinocular Microscope

A standard laboratory trinocular biological compound microscope featuring achromatic optics, cool 3W LED illumination, and a dedicated camera port. Combines 40x to 1000x magnification with an Abbe 1.25 NA condenser, double-layer mechanical stage, and 2-micron coaxial focus mechanics.

• Achromatic finite 160 mm objectives: 4x, 10x, spring-loaded 40x, and 100x oil immersion
• Dedicated vertical photo port channel on top of head unit for digital camera integration
• High-output transmitted 3W LED white 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
• Trinocular viewing head inclined at 30 degrees with paired widefield WF 10x/18 mm eyepieces
• Solid 4.9 kg cast-metal chassis provides complete vibration-free benchtop stability

Achromatic Optical System & Cool 3W LED Illumination

Achromatic multi-coated objectives deliver sharp center resolution and dependable color contrast on stained blood smears, tissue sections, and bacterial cultures. The 3W LED lamp provides a daylight-balanced continuous spectrum that renders biological stains with authentic color saturation without thermal distortion. Spring-loaded mounts on the 40x and 100x objectives cushion accidental contact, protecting both front glass elements and delicate specimen preparations.

Trinocular Camera Routing & Stage Translation

The top-mounted vertical photo tube routes clean optical data to external digital C-mount cameras, letting laboratory teams record high-resolution photomicrographs while actively viewing through the oculars. The double-layer mechanical stage provides smooth 50 x 30 mm coordinate translation via right-hand drop-down stalks, while the 2-micron fine-focus wheel allows precise focal plane isolation under 1000x oil immersion.

• Vertical photo port routes clean optical data to external digital video capture systems
• Cool-running 3W LED light source prevents thermal expansion in living specimens
• Forward-facing quadruple nosepiece with positive click-stops ensures smooth lens rotation
