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, the wide range of excellent objectives, and the sophisticated fluorescence. And you will also appreciate the brilliance of the well-known transmitted light contrasting techniques right up to the innovative and unique PlasDIC, which is cost efficient and provides the best possible contrast.

Technical Upgrades
Highly flexible and exceptionally versatile: the Axiovert 40 combines outstanding performance with high-end options such as: variable components, objective options, sophisticated fluorescence and the innovative PlasDiC. Three different condensers, specimen stage, specimen stage glass, object guide, a wide range of mounting frames for various culture vessels, and temperature controlled components – an impressive proof that Axiovert 40 is based on flexibility and versatility.

The Innovation: PlasDIC
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! The contrast setting is variable and can be optimally adapted to your specimen. In addition, as with Nomarski DIC, different levels can be focused. PlasDIC is the technique of choice for thick structures such as cell aggregates and cell clusters (e.g. apoptosis stages). With its unique design PlasDIC can be used with cells grown in standard plastic vessels, where cells often thrive. Conclusion: PlasDIC is an ingenious, innovative and costeffective technique setting new and exciting standards in routine inverted microscopy.

Fluorescence
For all applications based on GFP (Green Fluorescent Proteins) and other live cell fluorophors, you can attain exceptionally high fluorescence standards using the Axiovert 40 CFL. A significant benefit: even more stray light can be eliminated thanks to the newly developed 3-position reflector mount. As a result, you enjoy even better contrast, and for a quick exchange of filter sets: just Push&Click.
