| Axiovert 40 – inverted microscope technology that offers you much more than you have ever expected from a microscope in this category. You will be impressed by the outstanding quality, and functionality. Axiovert 40 has been designed to make lab work as easy and safe as possible – thus increasing the efficiency of your workflow. Your advantage: more time for the observation.
Contrasting Techniques. A perfect Range for Routine Applications.
Basics: A powerful 35 watt lamp improves the brightness in transmitted light in all contrasting techniques.
With a lifetime of over 800 hours, this halogen lamp is long lasting, too.
Fluorescence
A significant benefit: even more stray light can be eliminated thanks to the newly developed 3-position reflector mount. As a result, you enjoy even better contrast, and for a quick exchange of filter sets: just Push&Click.
Axiovert 40 offers two effective techniques for applications with thin specimens: brightfield for the brilliant contrasting of naturally colored specimens such as plant protoplasts, and phase contrast for colorless thin cells or cell branches.
Contrasting Techniques for Thick Specimens and Specimen Areas
In addition to VAREL (variable relief contrast), Carl Zeiss is now offering an innovative and unique technique: PlasDIC, the first differential contrasting technique for use with plastic dishes. The result: impressive relief effect and needle-sharp contrast across the whole specimen area, even on thick areas, that were a problem up to now. A significant gain in information! |
