Carl Zeiss has introduced the Axio Scope A1 microscope.
The Axio Scope A1 is ideal for pathology, histology, cytology, microbiology, environmental research, molecular biology, plant physiology, developmental biology or genetics laboratories.
Users have a choice of 23 stands, LED or halogen illumination, a retro-fittable fluorescence system, phase contrast, differential interference contrast (DIC) and the Plasdic technique developed by Carl Zeiss.
The LEDs for fluorescence applications are fully integrated into the stand.
The Ergo-stage can be locked along the y axis in the position that a user finds most comfortable and convenient and an extended specimen area is adjustable for specimen heights of up to 110mm.
If one of the optional Vario stands is chosen, larger specimens of up to 380mm may be examined.
Five series of objectives are offered.
The N-achroplan objective series is flattened for a field of view of 23mm in accordance with the ISO standard and is suitable for a large spectrum of applications.
In addition, the LED illumination has been designed to ensure homogenous illumination of fields of view of up to 23mm with constant colour temperature.
Axio Scope is compatible with traditional cameras, all Zeiss Axiocam digital cameras and the Zeiss Axiovision image processing software.
