Continuing a tradition started by Robert Koch: Research tuberculosis with a microscope from Carl Zeiss
In 1882, Robert Koch using a Carl Zeiss microscope discovered Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the pathogen that causes tuberculosis.
Here is another substantial technology contribution from Carl Zeiss to the battle against infectious diseases: Primo Star iLED, the new fluorescence microscope.

Primo Star iLED is the flexible solution for tuberculosis analysis with LED fluorescence excitation and transmitted-light brightfield illumination.
See for yourself:

|
| Primo Star iLED enables you to analyze microscopic tubercle bacilli with transmitted-light brightfield illumination. Due to the small size of the pathogen stained according to Ziehl-Neelsen, you usually work with a 100 x objective. At this magnification rate the visible object field is very small. The scanning of the specimen therefore is relatively time-consuming. The tubercle bacilli stained in violet are hardly visible. | In the LED-based fluorescence microscope Primo Star iLED, tubercle bacilli stained with, e.g., Auramine O, conspicuously glow in yellow to greenish hues against a dark background. Due to this fact and the use of a 40 x objective with larger object field the detection of the pathogens is about 4 times faster and about 10% more sensitive than Ziehl-Neelsen method. |

Your Decision:
Decide for yourself if you want to analyze tuberculosis according to Ziehl-Neelsen-Staining or if you like to use fluorescence excitation, e.g. with Auramine O dye.
Primo Star iLED gives you the opportunity: simply switch between the two modes.
 |
| Due to simple switching between fluorescence and brightfield, Primo Star iLED is flexibly applicable. |

Special Price for High Burden Countries
The microscope Primo Star iLED is the result of a cooperation between Carl Zeiss and the
Foundation for Innovative New Diagnostics (FIND).
