The objective series - Experience enhanced contrast.
Maximized image information – this is the Carl Zeiss goal for the objectives from Axio Imager. A wide range of objectives provides customized solutions for demands in all price and performance categories.
- The economical Epiplan objectives: achromatically corrected and made strain-minimized, for example, for high-quality DIC. They create a flat field image for a 23 mm field of view and are available as H, HD and LD models.
- The high-contrast EC Epiplan-Neofluar objectives: perfect for precise imaging of fine color and structural details, e.g. lamella in spherulitic graphite. Excellently corrected and made strain free for sharp C-DIC, they create a flattened image for a 25 mm field of view and are available as DIC, HD CDIC, Pol and LD models.
- The impressive EC Epiplan-Apochromat objectives: the objective series with the best correction and the highest numerical aperture, e.g. EC Epiplan-Apochromat 20x/0.60. These outstanding objectives are ideal for imaging color and structural details in the sub-micrometer range.

| The illumination concept - Obtaining more information.
An innovative illumination concept has been specially developed for Axio Imager. It enables you to see your specimens in brightfield and darkfield through new eyes – with minimized stray light and virtually error-free. Image contrast is outstanding, especially in interference contrast, even at very high magnifications. A new concept in transmitted light: the innovative darkfield condenser. It provides perfect illumination of the 2.5x to 100x objectives without changing condensers, impossible up to now. After all, excellent illumination is the prerequisite for excellent image quality. | | |

| C-DIC - Experience more contrast.
Significantly optimized for Axio Imager: the Carl Zeiss contrasting technique C-DIC with needle-sharp, highcontrast images. It enables you to see structures and sample details in unprecedented brilliance and precision. The C-DIC modules have also been further optimized and are now built into a modulator revolver. Operation is even easier and faster. The expanded adjustment range with continuous transition from gray to higher orders greater flexibility and operating comfort. | | |

| The tube lens turret - Enjoy the flexibility.
With its expanded magnification range comprising a total of five intermediate magnifications, the tube lens turret from Axio Imager provides more flexibility in adapting the desired field of view. The tube lens turret is available in two models.
1) Encoded: This model is important in order to automatically save with the image the actual total magnification. Measurement results are reliable and reproducible.
2) Motorized: This model offers you additional operating comfort in your systems solutions. The tube lens turret offers yet another advantage: the use of a focusable Betrand lens, an important component for the easy observation of the objective exit pupil. | | |

| The modulator revolver - Easy to operate.
Switching fast and easily from one contrasting technique to another – the new modulator revolver in Axio Imager was developed precisely for this purpose. Each of the four positions can be easily selected by a simple turn. The motorized model* is particularly easy to operate. When switching to interference contrast, the correct module with the setting previously defined is automatically activated. If you change to brightfield or darkfield, the blank position will be automatically selected for reproducible and fast results. | | |
