ZEISS Axioscope 5
Your Smart Microscope for Biomedical Routine and Research
In the past, documenting samples with multiple fluorescent labels in your routine lab could be time consuming. To get best image quality, you needed to manually switch filters, adjust illumination intensities and exposure times and to snap each single channel image. For four different channels, this could sum up to 15 steps and clicks. With Smart Microscopy, this is a thing of the past. Axioscope 5 with Axiocam 202 mono and Colibri 3 LED illumination take this workload from you. You don't even need to move your hands from the microscope stand anymore. All you have to do is focus and press Snap – and you're done! You can now concentrate on the essence of your job and let Axioscope 5 work for you. You'll work more efficiently, save time and produce high contrast images with best image quality.
Highlights
Benefit from Homogenous Illumination
This is Smart Microscopy
Digital Documentation Made Easy
Used in combination with Axiocam 202 mono or Axiocam 208 color, you have the full advantage of a smart standalone microscope system. Camera settings such as white balance, contrast and exposure time are done automatically. Without needing additional imaging software or even a computer, you can:
- Snap images and record videos directly from your stand
- Use the mouse to control your camera via on-screen display (OSD)
- Save settings
- Store images with all metadata of the microscope and camera as well as scaling information
- Predefine the name or rename your image

How-to use a Barcode reader with Smart Microscopy in stand-alone mode
Faced with a high volume of samples or with sensitive data – or with both – uncomplicated, precise data management is key: you need to work quickly and with total data accuracy.
That’s where barcode labeling comes into its own, helping you work through even large sample quantities with great ease and reliability. Your smart microscope from ZEISS lets you assign microscope images with the correct scaling information to barcode-labeled samples. Just use your Axiolab 5 or Axioscope 5 microscope with Windows PC or iPad, connect a barcode reader to your Axiocam 208 color microscope camera and you’re good to go.

Faced with a high volume of samples or with sensitive data – or with both – uncomplicated, precise data management is key: you need to work quickly and with total data accuracy. That’s where barcode labeling comes into its own, helping you work through even large sample quantities with great ease and reliability.
Just use your Axiolab 5 or Axioscope 5 microscope with Axiocam 208 color camera and connect it with your iPad. By scanning the barcode with the built-in camera of the iPad, Labscope will assign that particular barcode-ID to the acquired image.
Configurations
With Axioscope 5 and Smart Microscopy you are prepared for today and the future. Choose the configuration, which suits best to your lab workflow:

- Stand-alone for basic routine imaging
Axioscope 5 in combination with Axiocam 202 mono or Axiocam 208 color operates independently of a computer system.

- ZEISS Labscope for advanced routine imaging
Operating Axioscope 5 and Axiocam 202 mono or Axiocam 208 color with the imaging app Labscope is the ideal choice for connected microscopes and standard multichannel fluorescence imaging.

- ZEISS ZEN for research applications
With the imaging software ZEN you can perform advanced imaging tasks with your Axioscope 5.
ZEISS Colibri 3 LED Illumination
Complement your Axioscope 5 with the optional fluorescence LED illumination Colibri 3, and acquire brilliant fluorescence images with ease. Colibri 3 delivers the right wavelength and intensity to excite fluorescent dyes and proteins in a gentle way.
- Save time and money thanks to the long LED lifetime, the adjustment-free operation, and the avoidance of warm-up or cool-down times.
- Choose up to four configurable wavelengths to fit your needs. Upgrade anytime you need to.
- Individually control and switch between channels for UV, blue, green and red excitation – or use selected wavelengths simultaneously.
- With direct visual status feedback, you are always sure which FL-LED is in use.
- The integrated design saves space and makes for easy and ergonomic operation.
