The Stemi 305cam and Primo Star HDcam are your microscopes particularly suited to educational settings. As classroom microscopes they are designed for long-term use and extreme durability. Stemi 305 cam is your compact and easy-to-use stereo microscope with a 5:1 zoom for educational tasks. The fast, color Wi-Fi camera and WLAN router are already integrated into the microscope body. In “Access point” mode each Stemi 305 cam creates its own WLAN: up to six iPads can connect directly to the integrated camera and display its live image using the iPad imaging app Labscope. To create a high quality digital classroom, enable “Add to existing WLAN” mode and connect several Stemi 305 cams to the same digital network. Create your own virtual classroom by using Labscope, the iPad imaging app, to stream live images from several microscopes to all connected iPads. It’s easy to share, compare and discuss the work of all the students on your own wireless network.

Primo Star HDcam is easy to setup and the built-in carrying handle lets you move the microscope safely. This upright microscope delivers everything that matters in an educational setting. Consider the advantages of having the camera integrated into the tube and a number of interface options. You can connect microscopes in your classroom to each other, using Labscope, the iPad imaging app from ZEISS: students will spend their time learning, not fiddling with technology. With Primo Star HDcam you have the ability to view stained tissue sections in brightfield as well as unstained cells in phase contrast. Phase contrast is essential in biological sciences. It makes the finest unstained specimen such as cells visible by distinguishing between structures that are of very similar transparency.
