The Axio Scope.A1 from Carl Zeiss for routine materials microscopy offers flexibility and high performance. |
(Carl Zeiss: Thornwood, New York) -- Carl Zeiss, a provider of microscopy solutions for a variety of research, clinical, and industrial applications, has announced the Axio Scope.A1, a flexible, high-performance modular microscope platform specially tailored to the requirements of quality control and failure analysis.
The microscope’s flexibility is achieved with an offering of five different microscope upper bodies, three different lower bodies, and two Vario columns which can be selected for the respective user requirements and combined into an optimally customized microscope system. The Axio Scope.A1 offers exceptionally large scalability of the sample area height, which can be continuously set for sample sizes up to 380 mm high for numerous applications, depending on the configuration. Two-position sliders, and 4-position and 6-position reflector turrets are available as reflector modules, depending on the application. In any case, it is possible to quickly and easily switch between the different contrasting techniques.
In addition to traditional contrasting techniques in reflected and transmitted light such as brightfield, darkfield, DIC, and polarization, Axio Scope.A1 also enables innovative techniques such as C-DIC and PlasDIC. The line of high-contrast EC Epiplan objectives was specially developed for routine applications. They produce a flat-field image for a 23 mm field of view and are available in brightfield and brightfield/darkfield versions. As they are produced with low strain, they are ideal for high-quality DIC microscopy. This line of objectives enables the innovative C-DIC technique (Differential Interference Contrast in circularly polarized light) with only a single prism. Furthermore, the entire spectrum of objectives from Carl Zeiss is available.
Thanks to the modular design of the Axio Scope.A1, many components can be easily retrofitted by the customer, if required. ZEISS microscope cameras such as the AxioCam ICc1 or ICc3 and AxioVision software supplement the microscope.
