INSTRUMENT DESCRIPTION
1.1
Name and intended application
Manufacturer's designation: Axioskop 40 microscope
Axioskop 40 FL microscope
The Axioskop 40 and Axioskop 40 FL microscopes have been designed as universal microscopes for
biomedical applications. They can be used as pure transmitted-light microscopes or, with epi-
fluorescence equipment, as combined transmitted-light / reflected-light microscopes
The Axioskop 40 and Axioskop 40 FL microscopes are mainly used in:
−
hospitals
−
doctor's offices
−
universities and in
−
industry
1.2
Instrument description and main features
With the advanced pyramid and modular design, the Axioskop 40/40 FL incorporates time-tested
principles in microscope construction, thus ideally combining modern requirements made on design,
ergonomics, operating convenience and function with technical performance. Due to the modular
design, existing microscope modules from the Axioskop 2 plus and Axioplan 2 imaging, such as tubes,
intermediate tubes and condensers, are easy to attach. A connector plate must be mounted for Axioplan
2 imaging modules.
Depending on the instrument configuration, the following microscopy and contrasting techniques are
possible:
Transmitted light:
Reflected light:
- bright field
- fluorescence contrast
- dark field
- phase contrast
- VAREL contrast
- polarization contrast
The Axioskop 40 FL stand includes epi-fluorescence equipment. The optional adjustment guide is
integrated into the microscope stand in the factory when ordered. For technical reasons, retrofitting
existing transmitted-light instruments with the epi-fluorescence equipment should be performed by Zeiss
service staff, since the nosepiece must also be retrofitted.
The binocular phototubes and suitable adapters enable one microscope camera, one reflex camera or
one digital / video camera to be attached for documentation purposes.
