The Axio Vert.A1 is an inverted microscope from Carl Zeiss with extensive performance capabilities.
For the first time, a compact cell culture microscope combines all standard contrasting techniques in a single stand. In transmitted light, the Axio Vert.A1 offers brightfield, phase contrast, polarization contrast, PlasDIC, VAREL and improved Hoffmann modulation contrast. The microscope is the only system in its class to also offer differential interference contrast (DIC).
The Axio Vert.A1 is excellently suited for use in reproductive medicine, particularly in in-vitro fertilization. In fluorescence applications, the Axio Vert.A1 uses long-life LED illumination. The entire image field is illuminated homogeneously; no alignment is necessary.
The Axio Vert.A1 has been specially designed so that it can be positioned directly beside the incubator or the sterile bench. Adapters allow comfortable, upright work in either a seated or standing position.
