The Zeiss Axioskop 2 Plus Microscope: Exceptional Observational Precision
The Zeiss Axioskop 2 Plus microscope combines technical performance with ease of use. Primarily designed for biological and medical applications, it is perfectly suited for the examination of biological specimens such as blood and tissue samples. This model is praised for its robustness and modular design, allowing for customization based on the specific needs of users.
The microscope stand is constructed from a metal alloy to ensure stability and durability, with a T-shaped base, and is equipped with a HAL 12 V 100 W light source. The focusing system, utilizing Harmonic Drive™ technology, ensures extreme precision, providing fine and coarse focus adjustments with optimal user comfort. The microscope also features a coaxial mechanical stage, treated with a ceramic-coated surface for smooth and precise movement.
The Axioskop 2 Plus supports various contrast modes, including brightfield, reflected light, and advanced contrast techniques such as fluorescence microscopy, phase contrast, polarization contrast, and differential interference contrast (DIC). It can also be configured with epi-fluorescence illumination for detailed fluorescent observations. Optionally, it can be equipped with an epi-fluorescence system that includes a wide range of filters, facilitating the analysis of specific specimens in medical and biological research.
The optical configuration of the microscope is compatible with a variety of high-end objectives, including Achroplan and A-Plan objectives, offering magnifications ranging from 5x to 100x. This model is designed to offer great flexibility, allowing the addition of modules for photography and video microscopy, as well as co-observation for two or more users, making it ideal for collaborative work environments.
Additional features include an achromatic-aplanatic universal objective, a filter holder for efficient contrast management, and the ability to mount a microscope camera for documentation of observations.
