(shown using the example of the Axiovert 40 CFL)
The tried and tested ICS optics (Infinity Color-corrected System) guarantees high optical performance for all
methods (up to field-of-view number 20, tube factor 1x). Different combinations of objectives and eyepieces
provide optimum customization to the intended application.
Depending on the configuration, the Axiovert 40 microscopes are equipped with a 12 V 35 W halogen lamp
and a HBO 50 illuminator.
An universal port is available for documentation. Type-specific adapter modules are available for photomiĆ
crography and video microscopy.
The correct color temperature for color photography is obtained automatically at full lamp voltage.
A light path selector directs 100 % of light either to the viewing or the photo/video port.
