ZEISS Primovert Your compact inverted cell culture microscopes

Study the morphography of living cells and evaluate their development in brightfield and phase contrast. With Primovert, you can additionally assess GFP-labeled cells in fluorescence. And with Primovert digital, you capture high-definition images and turn them into insights using integrated AI-based cell analysis in ZEISS Labscope, for fast, reproducible results and easier collaboration.

Switch between phase and fluorescence contrast
Examine unstained as well as GFP-labeled cells
Keep cells in a sterile environment even when observing
Introduce AI into your cell culture analysis to gather speed and be more reproducible

    
          Combine efficiency and optical performance
        
    Your compact inverted routine microscope for cell culture

Highlights

Switch quickly between brightfield / phase contrast and fluorescence (GFP) directly at the stand.
Compact design fits into a laminar flow cabinet for work in a sterile environment.
Primovert digital: AI-powered cell analysis in ZEISS Labscope - one click, no manual effort.

Primovert digital

Primovert digital is your compact, integrated digital imaging system for cell culture. It combines a built-in camera with ZEISS Labscope to capture, share, and standardize your observations directly at the microscope and across your team. With AI modules in Labscope, Primovert digital can automatically recognize, classify, and quantify cells so you get fast, reproducible results while reducing manual effort.

What you can do with Primovert digital

Count cells with one click (adherent or in suspension) - no manual counting required.
Measure confluency and perform instant analysis with built-in AI workflows in ZEISS Labscope.
Share results for joint observation: connect to tablets/computers and collaborate beyond the sterile workplace.
Work directly in the laminar flow cabinet due to compact design; enable remote control/connectivity for sterile workflows.

Primovert iLED

Primovert iLED is perfectly suited to your daily work with cell cultures. You examine unstained cells in phase contrast as well as GFP-labeled cells in fluorescence contrast quickly and efficiently by just switching the contrasting technique directly at the stand.

Primovert for fluorescent cells

Primovert lets you evaluate unstained cells in phase contrast and GFP-labeled cells in fluorescence by switching contrast directly on the stand. LED fluorescence provides even illumination and avoids warm-up/cool-down and lamp adjustments.
