The objective series - Experience enhanced contrast.

Maximized image information – This is the Carl Zeiss goal for the objectives from Axio Imager. A wide range of objectives provides customized solutions for demands in all price and performance categories.

The economical Epiplan objectives: Achromaticallycorrected and made strain-minimized, for example, for high-quality DIC. They create a flat field image for a 23 mm field of view and are available as H, HD and LD models.

The high-contrast EC Epiplan-Neofluar objectives: Perfect for precise imaging of fine color and structural details, e.g. lamella in spherulitic graphite. Excellently corrected and made strain free for sharp C-DIC, they create a flattened image for a 25 mm field of view and are available as DIC, HD CDIC, Pol and LD models.

The impressive EC Epiplan-Apochromat objectives: The objective series with the best correction and the highest numerical aperture, e.g. EC Epiplan- Apochromat 20x/0.60. These outstanding objectives are ideal for imaging color and structural details in the sub-micrometer range.

The modulator revolver - Easy to operate.

Switching fast and easily from one contrasting technique to another – the new modulator revolver in Axio Imager was developed precisely for this purpose. Each of the four positions can be easily selected by a simple turn. The motorized model* is particularly easy to operate. When switching to interference contrast, the correct module with the setting previously defined is automatically activated. If you change to brightfield or darkfield, the blank position will be automatically selected for reproducible and fast results.

The touch screen - Key information at a glance.
To simplify complex steps, Axio Imager.Z1m and M1m have all functions grouped together for the first time on a touch screen (TFT) display. This allows you to control all motorized components easily at the touch of a button and display microscope status and control. The integrated light manager ensures the best possible light and contrast setting. In addition to fixed presettings, it is also possible to store complex procedures as individual settings and retrieve them at any time with just the touch of a button - the perfect way to ensure that Axio Imager runs smoothly in a multiuser environment.

The control buttons - Intuitive operation.
Axio Imager has a well-designed operating concept. The control buttons, which are arranged ergonomically around the focusing drive, can be easily distinguished thanks to their tactile surfaces. The manual stand has five buttons whose functions can be freely configured, while the motorized stand has over ten.

The ergotube - A new dimension in comfort.
Used for the first time with Axio Imager: the new 50-15-50 ergotube from Carl Zeiss with upright, unreversed image. With a continuous 50 mm height adjustment, a fixed viewing angle of 15° (ergonomically ideal) and a continuous horizontal extension of 50 mm, it satisfies the highest standards in terms of comfort and provides unrestricted optical quality in all positions.
