primarily for examining cell and tissue cultures and sediments in culture flasks, Petri dishes and microtiter
plates under transmitted and reflected light.
Also human cells and blood can be examined.
Axio Observer materials microscopes 3 materials, 5 materials, 7 materials (Fig. 2) are inverted light
microscopes for universal use. They are used in all areas of research-based and industrial microscopy.
Inverted microscopes permit the unrestricted use of conventional samples as a result of the highly
accommodating sample compartment. This facilitates the examination of samples, workpieces etc. of
large dimensions.
