2.1
Proper use of zoom microscopes
Manufacturer’s designation:
Axio Zoom.V16 zoom microscope
The Axio Zoom.V16 zoom microscope is an all-purpose light microscope for observing, preparing, sorting
and microsampling (dissecting, stimulating, manipulating) objects and samples of various types and
compositions down to the µm range. Classic sample preparation is not necessary.
With a high optical imaging quality even in larger object fields, this microscope is equally suited to
binocular, visual observation and comprehensive image documentation and analysis including 3D imaging
possibilities. With its modular design, different equipment configurations are possible; further
components and functions can be added as needed.
Modern cold light sources and gas discharge lamps enable a selection of different illumination methods
in:
Reflected light:
- Brightfield
Transmitted light:
- Brightfield
- Dark field
- Dark field
- Oblique light
- Oblique light
- Fluorescence illumination
The Axio Zoom.V16 was designed for use in biomedical laboratories, material science and forensic
institutes, as well as in industrial research, manufacture and quality assurance. Use in diagnostic human
medicine is expressly prohibited.
Proper use of the Axio Zoom.V16 requires compliance with the relevant environmental and operating
conditions (see Section 2.4, Technical data, page 13 ff.).
Axio Zoom.V16 microscopes and original accessories are to be used for the microscopy
procedures described in this operating manual only. The manufacturer cannot assume any
liability for other applications of the instrument, including those of individual modules or single
parts. This also applies to any service or repair work that is not carried out by authorized service
personnel. In case of non-compliance, all warranty claims shall be forfeited.
The set-up and operation of the Axio Zoom.V16 in conjunction with optional components such
as the SYCOP 3 control panel with the EMS 3 controller or Fluar Illuminator Z mot. for
fluorescent applications are described in separate operating manuals.
Instruments may only be operated by trained personnel. who must be aware of the possible
dangers involved with microscopy and the particular application concerned.
The microscope is a high-precision instrument that can be impaired in its performance or
destroyed when handled improperly. These devices may only be used in conformance with the
stated environmental conditions in enclosed, dust-free spaces which are free of oil-bearing and
other chemical vapors (see Section 2.4, Technical data).
