Inverted Light Microscope Axio Vert.A1 for Materials Microscopy from Carl Zeiss

Axio Vert.A1 is a compact, inverted microscope that brings you big insights into your objectives. You examine large, heavy samples, using all the latest contrast methods without compromise. Or you might decide instead to increase your insights by combining several contrast methods.

Contrast Methods for All Details
At a single stroke you switch between brightfield, darkfield, DIC, C-DIC, fluorescence and polarization contrast in reflected light. In transmitted light, use brightfield, polarization and phase contrast.

Fast Imaging with a Wide Range of Objectives
You will be using a 5x encoded nosepiece turret as well as a light manager to capture light intensity and objective exchange automatically. That means you quantify your structure efficiently, evaluate the properties and quality of your materials, and then take appropriate measures.

Reproducible Measuring and Comparing
With 23 field of view you understand most of your sample from first sight. Having grain-measuring reticles equips you very well for instant measurements. You also have AxioVision Software by Carl Zeiss for a powerful range of modules such as grain size, phase analysis, layer thickness and interactive measurement for your investigations.

Steel Industry

Today’s standards are frequently based on automated image analysis methods, and measurements are performed with the help of specialized software modules. This applies to parameters like for example Non-metallic Inclusions in steel (NMI) and grain size analysis, factors which determine the hardness, machinability and strength of steel. State-of-the art dedicated microscope systems specifically support standard-compliant measurements. more

Metals

A flexible light microscope is an indispensable feature of every metallography lab, whether you develop novel alloy materials or perform quality control to ensure the purity of steel. more

Materialography

Many materialographical analysis methods are defined by norms and standards. This applies for example to the determination of Non-metallic Inclusions in steel (NMI) or the analysis of grain sizes. In order to determine such parameters in accordance with international standards, you need a microscope system equipped with dedicated software modules. more
