KERN OBL 127 Binocular Microscope, Infinity E-Plan, 40x–1000x

The KERN OBL 127 is a premium binocular microscope for schools, colleges and universities seeking a substantial step up from a standard teaching microscope. Its infinity-corrected optical system and E-Plan objectives deliver clear, flat and consistently focused images across the field of view, making it particularly suitable for demanding practical work and advanced microscopy teaching.

Supplied with 4x, 10x, 40x and 100x objectives, the microscope provides total magnifications from 40x to 1000x. High-eye-point widefield eyepieces support comfortable viewing, while the robust ergonomic stand, large mechanical stage and controls on both sides make the microscope well suited to frequent use in shared teaching laboratories.

Key Features

Infinity-corrected optical system provides high-quality, consistent images and greater upgrade flexibility
Infinity E-Plan objectives produce a flatter image with improved clarity towards the edge of the field of view
40x, 100x, 400x and 1000x total magnification options for introductory and advanced practical work
HWF 10x high-eye-point eyepieces with a wide 20mm field of view for comfortable observation
Anti-fungus eyepieces help protect the optical system during long-term storage and repeated institutional use
Continuously adjustable 3W LED illumination provides bright, even transmitted light
Pre-centred, focusable Abbe condenser with aperture and field diaphragms provides simplified Koehler illumination
Large mechanical stage can hold two slides, allowing specimens to be changed or compared efficiently
Coaxial coarse and fine focusing controls on both sides support precise, comfortable operation
Robust, ergonomic stand designed for regular use in busy teaching laboratories
Three-year manufacturer’s warranty supports long-term educational investment

Advanced Optics for Education

Unlike more basic student microscopes, the OBL 127 combines infinity E-Plan optics with controlled Koehler illumination. This allows students to observe specimens with improved flatness, contrast and illumination uniformity while learning the principles of professional microscope setup. The pre-centred condenser simplifies adjustment, making these benefits accessible within structured teaching sessions.

The infinity optical platform also supports future expansion. Compatible accessories include alternative eyepieces and objectives, colour filters, darkfield and polarising equipment, phase contrast kits and fluorescence units, allowing the microscope to develop alongside more advanced courses and departmental requirements.

Included with the Microscope

The microscope is supplied with a protective dust cover, eyecups and multilingual operating instructions.
