Kern OCM-1 Inverted Microscopes

Features

The OCM range stands out through its design which is ergonomic, robust and extremely stable. This design, with its large working distance, is particularly suitable for the monitoring and analysis of cell cultures, for example

A strong and continuously adjustable 30W halogen illumination unit ensures the optimum illumination in the bright field of your samples. In addition, either an Osram
100 W-HBO- (OCM 165/166) or a 5 W-LED Epi fluorescence incident illumination unit
(OCM 167/168) are available to you as a fluorescence microscope for perfect illumination and stimulation of your fluorescence samples

A special Abbe N.A. 0.3 condenser with aperture diaphragm and large working distance of 72 mm guarantees the very best working practise in the bright field and with fluorescence applications
As standard, the OCM range is fitted with a trinocular eyepiece tube  The mechanical stage including specimen holder (∅ 110 mm) means that you can work quickly and effectively. Further brackets for petri dishes are included with delivery or available as accessories

Further options such as, for example, a selection of eyepieces, objectives, specimen
holders and other phase contrast units can be integrated as accessories.  A dust cover as well as user instructions are included with the delivery

Scope of application

Research and breeding of cell cultures and tissue cultures

Applications/Samples

Particularly for viewing samples in culture vessels (flasks, petri dishes, microtitre plates), translucent, thin, low-contrast, challenging samples (e.g. living mammal cells, tissue, microorganisms if necessary, immunofluorescence, FISH, DAPI staining etc.)
