Zeiss AXIOVERT 200 Microscope: Redefining Excellence in Inverted Microscopy
The Zeiss AXIOVERT 200 microscope represents the pinnacle of inverted microscopy, drawing upon decades of expertise and innovation from a company that has been shaping international standards since 1924. Building upon its legacy of pioneering optical technologies, the AXIOVERT 200 sets a new benchmark in microscopy, surpassing previous models in every essential aspect.
One of the standout features of the AXIOVERT 200 is its exceptional Zeiss optics, renowned for their clarity and precision. Equipped with a wide range of ICS objectives, innovative condensers, and optimized fluorescence capabilities, this microscope delivers unparalleled imaging quality across various applications. Its comprehensive documentation and adaptation options further enhance versatility and usability.
The inclusion of LD (long distance) objectives and condensers significantly enhances usability, particularly in penetrating thick samples with ease. LD A-Plan objectives are meticulously corrected for standard chamber thickness, ensuring exceptional contrast and minimal aberrations.
Moreover, the introduction of new condensers with increased working distance offers greater flexibility and maneuverability during microscopy. These condensers accommodate various contrasting methods and can be seamlessly integrated into different applications, showcasing the AXIOVERT 200's adaptability and versatility.
The observation tubes of the AXIOVERT 200 cater to diverse user preferences and requirements. Whether utilizing the binocular tube for traditional viewing, the phototube for image acquisition with shutter controls and focusing capabilities, or the height-adjustable Ergotube for ergonomic comfort during prolonged use, this microscope ensures fatigue-free operation and precise focusing for extended periods.
Signaling Quality is paramount in microscopy, and the Zeiss AXIOVERT 200 ensures unparalleled contrast and signal-to-noise ratio with its innovative Light Trap technology. By significantly reducing interfering stray light, the patented Zeiss Light Trap elevates fluorescence imaging to new heights, delivering unprecedented brilliance and clarity in captured images.
The AXIOVERT 200 further enhances user experience with its convenient Push&Click functionality for fluorescence imaging. Featuring five filter sets with a full 23 mm field of view, the reflector turret offers exceptional flexibility and ease of handling. Switching between filter sets is seamless and swift, requiring just a simple push and click mechanism.
Smoothness takes on a new meaning with the AXIOVERT 200's Soft Click feature. Rotating the reflector turret is exceptionally smooth, earning it the moniker of "Axiovert 200 Soft Click." This ensures vibration-free micromanipulation, crucial for delicate procedures where precision is paramount.
Versatility is enhanced with the inclusion of the new HBO Illuminator with AttoArc 2. Offering continuous brightness control directly from the PC via microscope software, the AttoArc 2 revolutionizes illumination control. Additionally, aligning the burner is made effortless with the adjusting aid and lateral adjusting screws, simplifying setup and ensuring consistent illumination quality.
The Zeiss AXIOVERT 200 microscope offers versatile specimen stage options to accommodate a wide range of applications and user preferences. With attachable object guides available for both right and left-hand use, the specimen stage provides an ideal solution for various experimental setups and workflows.
The Mechanical Stage represents the latest evolution of a successful concept, featuring a plane surface with extra-long travels and exceptional precision. This design is particularly well-suited for handling multi-well plates, ensuring precise positioning and movement during experimentation.
For more intricate manipulations, the Gliding Stage offers unparalleled flexibility. The top plate, along with the specimen, can be delicately shifted in any direction and rotated as needed. This feature is invaluable for precise specimen positioning prior to micromanipulation and chromosome microdissection procedures.
For utmost precision and control, the Motorized Scanning Stage offers PC or joystick-controlled positioning of specimen details. This stage enables highly accurate movements, with software modules such as Mark&Find in AxioVision facilitating the saving and retrieval of positions for reproducible experiments.
Regardless of the chosen stage, users can select from a wide variety of mounting frames suitable for specimen slides, Petri dishes, and vessels of various shapes. Universal mounting frames are particularly recommended for their versatility, ensuring compatibility with different specimen types and experimental setups. For optimal precision, specific mounting frames such as M for the plain stage, K for the mechanical stage, and MX or KX for multi-well plates are available, catering to the diverse needs of researchers across different disciplines.
In summary, the Zeiss AXIOVERT 200 microscope redefines excellence in inverted microscopy, providing researchers with a comprehensive toolset to achieve precise, rapid, and successful outcomes across various life science applications. Its unmatched performance, flexibility, and ergonomic design position users at the forefront of scientific discovery and innovation.
