Upright
Upright microscopes offer more all-around utility in labs that look at more forms of either mounted or unmounted samples.
The AXIO line of compound microscopes offers a unique pyramid stand shape that provides greater stability and lower center of gravity, minimizing vibration. All controls are ergonomically positioned to provide ease of use and a high degree of operator comfort during inspection.
A wide range of components, objectives and contrasting methods (brightfield, advanced darkfield, circular differential interference contrast [C-DIC], polarization, total interference contrast [TIC] and fluorescence) are available to customize the ideal instrument for your particular application.
In each category there is a research grade and industrial grade which are both highly configurable. Research grade stands are engineered to handle a wider range of configurability and options for a wider range of needs. Industrial grade stands are a more economical option for labs with narrower requirements.
AxioImager
The Axio Imager from Carl Zeiss features several new innovations in microscope design to improve contrast and resolution. The Kohler lighting principle is now utilized through the light train improving homogeneity and contrast with a background so black, it has a new name: “Advanced Darkfield.” A 7-position objective turret allows usage of 1.25X through 100X objectives for a total magnification range of 12.5X to 1000X to the eyepieces, without the need to remove and switch objectives in the turret.
AxioScope
The Zeiss Axioscope was designed specifically to meet the most common optical imaging requirements of materials laboratories. It is the right choice if your routine inspection tasks place high demands on usability, reproducibility and automation with needed advanced optical microscopy for materials analysis and metallography.
AxioLab
The Axiolab 5 is perfect for routine lab microscopy. Its compact, ergonomic design saves space and ensures easy handling. Pair it with the Axiocam 208 color for smart microscopy: just focus and press a button for crisp, true-color images. The digital image matches what you see through the eyepieces, with all details and color differences clear. Axiolab 5 also adds the correct scaling information automatically. Enjoy standalone operation without a PC or extra software.
