The KERN OBT 231 Digital Microscope with 7-inch LCD Camera (OBT-231) is a digital transmitted-light compound microscope designed for teaching, training and routine observation of translucent samples. It combines finite achromatic optics, four objectives, adjustable LED illumination and a 2 MP CMOS camera with an integrated LCD display.
Key Features
- Integrated 7-inch LCD viewing system, displaying microscope images at a resolution of 1844 x 1080
- Digital 2 MP CMOS camera, using a 1/2.8-inch sensor for image viewing and documentation
- Smooth live image display, with a manufacturer-specified camera frame rate of up to 60 fps
- Four achromatic objectives, providing 4x, 10x, 40x and 100x magnification options
- Four-position objective nosepiece, allowing rapid movement between the supplied objectives
- Finite optical system, configured for transmitted-light observation of thin, high-contrast specimens
- Continuously adjustable 1 W LED illumination, delivering cool and energy-efficient sample lighting
- Height-adjustable Abbe condenser, with a numerical aperture of 1.25 and an aperture diaphragm for controlled light concentration
- Precise coaxial focusing, combining coarse and fine adjustment with a minimum fine-drive increment of 0.0025 mm
- Mechanical specimen stage, supporting controlled and rapid slide positioning during observation
- USB and MicroSD documentation, with USB 2.0 connectivity and a MicroSD card slot for storing recordings
- Measurement software included, allowing images to be viewed and analysed on a compatible computer through S-Viewer software
Note: The microscope is prepared for optional battery operation when mobile use is required.
Benefits
- View specimens directly on the integrated LCD screen without relying solely on conventional eyepieces.
- Capture and retain observations for classroom demonstrations, training records and basic sample documentation.
- Move efficiently between low and high magnification using the four supplied objectives.
- Adjust illumination and condenser settings to improve contrast across different translucent specimens.
- Transfer images to a computer for further viewing, measurement and documentation.
- Use the robust and intuitive design in teaching environments with multiple or less-experienced operators.
