Axio Observer

 

Choose between three stand versions of this robust inverted system – from economical entry level to top-end performance, including complete motorization. The entry-level model will ensure excellent imaging results, while the next level additionally offers coded and motorized components. Finally, the fully motorized stand expands the performance capability by motorized focusing (z-control) and automatic component recognition.

 

Furthermore, the motorized Axio Observer stand features a novel operating concept. Use the touchscreen for convenient input and monitoring, operating the entire microscope via the TFT display with its concise, clearly organised menu structure. Assign the pushbuttons to suit your requirements and create your personalized user settings. Run even complex workflows from your TFT touchscreen.

 

The beam path optics with apochromatic correction give your images an unprecedented uniform brilliance. Axio Observer offers all relevant methods in transmitted and reflected light: brightfield, darkfield, polarisation and fluorescence in reflected light, as well as innovative contrast methods such as C-DIC (circular DIC), a polarization technique perfect for contrasting oriented structures.

 

AxioVision, the sophisticated image acquisition and analysis software, offers numerous modules for material microscopy, including for example TIC (total interference contrast), which enables accurate height and thickness measurements of object structures.
