Microscopy solutions for Microbiology

For routine microbiology workflows, Axiolab 5 configurations offer brightfield, phase contrast, and darkfield microscopy with digital imaging compatibility. Choose an Advanced Ergo configuration when additional ergonomic features are needed, or an Advanced Fluorescence configuration when fluorescence microscopy is part of your workflow.

Phase contrast and darkfield provide contrast for unstained specimens and wet preparations without requiring staining. Available contrast techniques depend on the selected configuration.

Yes. Compatible ZEISS cameras support digital image capture and documentation, including high-color-fidelity imaging. Smart Microscopy configurations can capture properly scaled images with metadata directly at the microscope.

With Smart Microscopy and a compatible ZEISS camera, users can focus the specimen and capture a properly scaled, color-accurate image directly at the microscope with a single press of the Snap button—no separate PC required for routine documentation. Images can include metadata for documentation and sharing.

Microbiology specimens can contain fine structural detail and may require different contrast techniques depending on the preparation. ZEISS optics and configurable brightfield, phase contrast, darkfield, and fluorescence options support clear specimen observation across a range of routine microbiology workflows.

Start with your primary workflow, then use Configure your solution to explore available configurations—or speak with a ZEISS specialist to match objectives, contrast methods, imaging, ergonomics, and documentation options to your laboratory needs and request a quote.
