Axio Imager Z1 Upright Fluorescent Microscope
Zeiss Axio Imager Z1- Fluorescent Microscope
Description
The Zeiss Axio Imager Z1 is a fully motorized upright fluorescent microscope.
Motorization includes: Z sectioning, objectives, filters, light and fluorescence intensities.
Features
- Remote control operation with a control unit for focus and stage position.
- LCD touch screen to control easily the microscope light path, objectives, filters, shutters and illumination intensity.
- Transmitted Light
- Condenser system: Flexible condenser system for Brightfield, Polarization Contrast or Differential Interference Contrast (DIC), Dark Field imaging.
- Lumencor Sola LED light source: Stable solid-state white light excitation source.
- Camera: the microscope is equipped with FL 20BW is a Scientific CMOS camera with 20 million pixels with 84% QE. The camera is well suited for both brightfield and fluorescence imaging.
