Product Overview- The OBN 159 is a preconfigured phase contrast microscope designed for clinical and research laboratories, offering modular expandability for specialised workflows.
- Preconfigured phase contrast optical train with Infinity Plan phase objectives and a professional quintuple (5-position) nosepiece for rapid magnification changes.
- Strong, continuously dimmable 3W LED transmitted illumination combined with professional Köhler illumination and an adjustable field diaphragm for reproducible imaging.
- Height-adjustable, centreable Abbe condenser with NA 1.25 and adjustable aperture diaphragm suitable for phase contrast techniques.
- Large mechanical stage with ergonomic, coaxial coarse and fine focusing controls on both sides for fast, precise sample handling and focusing.
- Delivered with centring eyepiece for phase contrast alignment, protective dust cover, eye cups and multilingual user instructions.
Applications- Primary application areas: haematology, urology, gynaecology, dermatology, pathology, microbiology, parasitology, immunology, oncology, veterinary diagnostics, water analysis, wastewater treatment, breweries, clinical laboratories, teaching laboratories and universities.
- Typical samples: translucent, thin, low-contrast and demanding specimens (e.g. living mammalian cells, bacteria, tissue sections).
Accessories and Options (examples)- Fluorescence modules (various types, e.g. HBO, LED).
- Darkfield condensers and darkfield accessory kits.
- Various Abbe and centreable condensers (oil and dry versions).
- Colour filters (blue, green, grey, yellow, etc.).
- C-mount camera adapters (1x, 0.5x) and a wide range of microscope cameras / tablet camera options.
- Additional eyepieces (WF, HWF, with scale), Infinity Plan and plan-achromatic objectives (various magnifications and immersion types), complete phase contrast units.
- Binocular, trinocular, Siedentopf and butterfly tubes; polarisation units (analyser and polariser); protective dust covers and cleaning kits.
