New Axio Imager for Materials Applications; A Microscope with Uncompromising Quality



Thornwood, NY - Carl Zeiss MicroImaging is please to introduce a new Axio Imager upright microscope system for materials applications with a new illumination system that markedly improves image quality in all contrasting techniques - brightfield, darkfield or C-DIC - and provides optimum information.

Axio Imager comes in 4 different stand configurations tailored to specific applications in industry such as metallography, materials research, and quality assurance. Modular design is one of the outstanding benefits of the system which can be upgraded as your requirements grow from an analog to a motorized version, up to the digital system with Z-focus.

Every Axio Imager microscope is equipped with the new reflected-light illumination. A core element in the stand, called stable cell, ensures optimum stability as well as ideal measuring and image results. High sample throughput in serial tests and high repeat accuracy of measurements are assured through the motorization of all stand functions. The line of EC Epiplan-Apochromat objectives meets the highest demands and provides optimum results in routine and research materials microscopy.

Users can choose from a wide variety of accessories for measuring tasks, convenient operation, motorization, automation and imaging. Data interfaces such as TCP/ IP, RS-232, USB and CAN make the network integration an easy task. The AKE automatic component recognition system simplifies operation of the microscope and ideally combines the know-how of microscope technology from Carl Zeiss with the users knowledge.

The Axio Imager microscope system with its numerous combination possibilities is a reliable and competent partner for everyone working in the field of materials microscopy. Combined with the AxioCam digital camera and the AxioVision software, Axio Imager is a sophisticated solution for requirements now and in the future.
