Simply the Best
Axiovert 40 – inverted microscope technology that offers you much more than you have ever expected from a microscope in this category. You will be impressed by the outstanding quality, and functionality. Axiovert 40 has been designed to make lab work as easy and safe as possible – thus increasing the efficiency of your workflow. Your advantage: more time for the observation.

Contrasting Techniques. A perfect Range for Routine Applications.
Basics: A powerful 35 watt lamp improves the brightness in transmitted light in all contrasting techniques. With a lifetime of over 800 hours, this halogen lamp is long lasting, too.

Contrasting Techniques for Thin Specimens
Axiovert 40 offers two effective techniques for applications with thin specimens: brightfield for the brilliant contrasting of naturally colored specimens such as plant protoplasts, and phase contrast for colorless thin cells or cell branches.

Contrasting Techniques for Thick Specimens and Specimen Areas.
In addition to VAREL (variable relief contrast), Carl Zeiss is now offering an innovative and unique technique: PlasDIC, the first differential contrasting technique tailored to routine laboratory applications. The result: impressive relief effect and needle-sharp contrast across the whole specimen area, even on thick areas, that were a problem up to now. A significant gain in information!

Operation. Easier, Faster, more Flexibility.
High throughput of cell and tissue specimens – laboratory applications require precision and reliability in workflows that are not often similar or identical but must also be carried out under great time and budget pressures. With its numerous features,
Axiovert 40 is ideal for these situations.
Examples: The sliding condenser enables you to adapt the microscope to large vessels such as roller bottles quickly and easily. Three contrasting techniques in one objective – e.g. brightfield, phase contrast and PlasDIC – guarantee fast and precise specimen analysis. Exchanging the reflectormodules for fluorescence: just Push&Click.

Documentation. Prepared for the Future.
Documentation yes or no? With Axiovert 40 it’s easy to document your results since both versions of the stand come equipped with a front port – making Axiovert 40 unique in its category. Adaptable: SLR, video, digital compact consumer cameras and digital microscope cameras. If your requirements are demanding, you have the powerful range of digital cameras from the AxioCam family at your disposal. AxioVision provides you with high-end software for sophisticated image processing, image analysis and image archiving. With its wealth of customized modules, this power package is your gateway to a world of countless possibilities.
