Microscopy built for industrial inspection and real world parts

ZEISS brings proven optical and electron‑beam innovation to help you inspect parts, surfaces, and materials with accuracy and repeatability.

Axio Zoom.V16

High‑resolution imaging for large parts.

Axio Zoom.V16 combines a large field of view with high numerical aperture so you can inspect full components and filters while maintaining fine detail. Fewer tiles mean faster cleanliness checks, defect reviews, and inclusion analysis.

  • Best For:

    • Large parts
    • Filters & particle‑rich samples
    • Cleanliness checks
    • Wide‑field defect scanning
  • Key Strengths:

    • Large field of view
    • High NA for fine details
    • Fewer tiles → faster analysis
    • Great for optical inspection of big components
  • When to choose this system:

    You need fast, wide‑area optical clarity with enough resolution to see fine features.

Axiovert 7

Fast, consistent imaging for repeatable workflows.

Axiovert 7 brings Smart Microscopy and encoded components to materials inspection. Smart Microscopy streamlines routine imaging by automatically applying key settings such as illumination and scaling, so users can capture accurate, well‑documented images with a single snap. Combined with motorized Z and guided workflows, it accelerates metallography, NMI, weld evaluation, grain structure analysis, and other routine tasks.

  • Best For:

    • Metallography
    • Weld inspection
    • Grain structure imaging
    • Routine materials lab tasks
  • Key Strengths:

    • Encoded settings for repeatability
    • Smart Microscopy workflows
    • Motorized Z
    • Stable inverted configuration for flat samples
  • When to choose this system:

    You need consistent, repeatable imaging for materials labs and routine inspection.

EVO

Modular imaging for demanding inspection.

EVO offers modular chambers, detectors, and imaging modes to support industrial inspection and failure analysis. It reveals fractures, coatings, inclusions, contamination, corrosion, and complex surfaces. Variable‑pressure capability enables inspection of non‑conductive samples without coating.

  • Best For:

    • Fractures
    • Coatings & corrosion
    • Compositional analysis
    • Non‑conductive samples (with VP mode)
  • Key Strengths:

    • Modular detectors & chambers
    • High‑resolution surface detail
    • VP imaging → no coating needed
    • Reveals features optical systems cannot
  • When to choose this system:

    You need detailed surface or failure analysis beyond what optical microscopes can reveal.
