How is ZEISS Primostar Enhancing Teaching and Routine Lab Work?

José Poloni is a Professor who works mainly with microscopic analysis of clinical specimens. He graduated in Pharmacy-Biochemistry and has a Masters and a Doctoral degree, both in Health Sciences.

"Urinalysis is my field of interest. Phase contrast and polarized light microscopy are the gold standard methods to urine microscopy. These microscopic resources are very useful to the proper identification of urinary particles of clinical interest."

Liesl van As is an Associate Professor and Academic Head of the Department of Zoology and Entomology at the University of the Free State in South Africa. Her research focuses on fish parasitology, thus the use of stereo-, compound- and scanning electron microscopy is part of her life. She lectures different courses to the undergraduate students and supervises post graduate students, including microscopy.

"Our improved laboratory, with the newly installed ZEISS stereo- and compound microscopes, adds academic value to these courses. More important is the digital classroom, that resulted from the fact that 60 of the compound microscopes have built-in cameras that are, via wifi, connected to iPads."
