Axiovert 40 MAT - Inverted Microscopes

The routine inverted microscope for cell biology

Features

Design : Perfect for Materials Laboratories.
You are well familiar with daily work in a materials lab: cramped working conditions, high specimen throughput, hours of sitting in one position. All of this places an enormous strain both on your body and your powers of concentration. Axiovert 40 MAT has been designed to make lab work as easy and safe as possible – thus increasing the efficiency of your workflow.

Stand. A Solid Solution.
With its space-saving design and low stage height, the Axiovert 40 MAT is ideal for the demands of materials laboratories. Thanks to its low center of gravity, it is exceptionally sturdy and robust. A further advantage: This construction permits the use of large and stable specimen stages and is consequently ideal for the examination of heavy and bulky specimens. In addition, the Axiovert 40 MAT is light in weight, making it easy to transport and store.

Operation. Simply Smooth and Easy.
Controls must be easy to use – and easy to find. So it's only logical that the Axiovert 40 MAT is based on ergonomic principles that include intuitive arrangement of the controls as well as optimal stage height and tube design. Additional sophisticated features such as the Push&Click modules and adaptable transmitted light are yet another guarantee for smooth and easy operation.

Contrasting Techniques. The Whole Spectrum for Routine Applications.
Axiovert 40 MAT provides you with all essential contrasting techniques in reflected light for a wide range of routine laboratory applications. Its reflector modules P&C have the same high quality found in Carl Zeiss research microscopes. The reflector modules can be quickly and easily changed via Push&Click – an attractive advantage making it easier for you to attain reliable results in, for example, quality assurance or damage analysis. With Axiovert 40 MAT you can easily and quickly change contrasting techniques in reflectedlight: brightfield, darkfield, polarization, DIC and fluorescence.

You'll also appreciate the handy integrated storage compartments for your DIC sliders, particularly when you are using interference contrast.

With its rotary analyzer and lambda compensator Axiovert 40 MAT permits optimal setting of polarization contrast and is thus particularly useful for materials with low bireflection.

4-position or 5-position Nosepiece? You Decide.
One microscope, two versions – with Axiovert 40 MAT you can decide between two stands with different nosepieces. Need to get standard magnifications fast and don't want to bother with the time-consuming exchange of individual objectives? Then you decide in favor of the stand with the 5-position nosepiece – a good choice, particularly in materials control and quality assurance. If you require darkfield contrast or DIC, then choose the stand with the 4-position nosepiece, designed specifically for these requirements.

Cameras. Keeping an Eye on Documentation.
A port to attach a camera? A standard feature of Axiovert 40 MAT – and your entry into the world of digital imaging. Excellent results can be attained with the use of a consumer digital camera. However, for more demanding requirements you have the whole range of high-quality AxioCam cameras at your disposal. They all feature fast live images and can be completely integrated into the Carl Zeiss software and microscope systems.

Software. Intelligently Integrated.
AxioCam MR comes equipped with basic software which includes all functionalities for imaging, simple image processing and analysis – both in current standard formats as well as in the file format ZVI from Carl Zeiss, which has been optimized for microscopic image processing. The advantage for you: easy upgrading to the comprehensive AxioVision software. Using this professional software package, you can seamlessly integrate optional modules and upgrade the Axiovert 40 MAT into a powerful imaging system.
