The Objective Series - Experience Enhanced Contrast (EC)
To obtain comprehensive image information, you need to use a wide range of objectives. With the Axio Imager 2 objective series Carl Zeiss has provided solutions for all levels of optical requirements and price / performance categories.

| • | EC EPIPLAN Objectives
An economical, all-around series of objectives, which have been achromatically corrected with minimum optically strain for an impressive quality DIC, and, in addition, providing a flat field image for a 23 mm field of view. They are available in brightfield or brightfield/darkfield versions. Differential Interference Contrast in circularly polarized light is also possible with all EC EPIPLAN objectives using only a single C-DIC prism. |
| | |
| • | EC Epiplan-NEOFLUAR Objectives
The particularly high-contrast EC Epiplan-NEOFLUAR objectives, which have high degree of correction and minimized optical strain,, enabling you to achieve sharp C-DIC and a flat, in focus, 25 mm field of view – ideal for viewing fine color and structural details, e.g. lamellae in spherulitic graphite. Available as DIC/C-DIC, Brightfield/Darkfield, Pol and LD (long working distance) versions, they also offer the additional benefits of long working distances and high numerical apertures. |
| | |
| • | EC Epiplan-APOCHROMAT Objectives
The EC Epiplan-APOCHROMAT objectives satisfy the very highest demands. They are ideal for imaging color and structural details in the sub-micrometer range and are renowned for offering the best optical correction and highest numerical apertures. Based on ICS optics from Carl Zeiss, these innovative Enhanced Contrast objectives perform at the limits of what optics can achieve with regard to contrast and image fidelity. |

The Illumination Concept - Obtain Brilliant Image Quality
An innovative illumination concept has been specially developed for the Axio Imager 2, enabling you to see your specimens in brightfield and darkfield with unprecedented quality, minimized stray light and imaging that is virtually aberration-free. Outstanding image contrast is achieved, especially in interference contrast, even at very high magnifications.

The Tube Lens Turret - Increase Your Flexibility
With its expanded magnification range comprising of a total of five intermediate magnifications, the Axio Imager 2 tube lens turret offers greater variability when it comes to adapting the desired field of view. The tube lens turret is available in two models.
1) Encoded: This model allows manual operation of the tube lens turret (magnification change) while providing automatic feedback of the user selection for reliable and repeatable documentation, scaling factors and measurements.
2) Motorized: This model offers you additional operating comfort for your system solutions by automatic selection based on user-defined configurations. The tube lens turret offers yet another advantage: the use of a focusable Bertrand lens, an important component for the easy observation of the objective exit pupil.

The Modulator Turret - Easy to Operate
Switching quickly and easily from interference contrast to other techniques – the Axio Imager 2 modulator turret has been developed precisely with this goal in mind. Each of the four positions can be easily selected with a simple turn. The motorized model is particularly easy to operate. When switching to interference contrast, the correct prism with the setting you have previously defined is automatically activated. If you switch to brightfield or darkfield, the path is cleared automatically for fast and, above all, reproducible results.

The Reflector Turret - Fast Switching Made Easy
All Push&Click contrast modules can be stored securely in six or ten positions and activated as needed using manual or motorized operation.
Topics
Motorized Apertures - Maintaining Constant Image Quality
Using the motorized aperture and luminous field diaphragms you can achieve error-free, reproducible illumination settings and, consequently, constant image quality. System integrated motorization guarantees you comparable results and higher productivity by automating the workflow.

The Nosepiece - Seven Eyes See More
The Axio Imager 2 nosepiece provides room for up to seven objectives. You now have a sufficient number of objectives to use the entire standard magnification series from 1x to 100x. Naturally, it is also possible to combine objective types, for example reflected light and transmitted light objectives. Seven eyes – or room for seven objectives – also mean that it is no longer necessary to exchange the objectives, saving you time and increasing safety.
