Redefing Flexibility and Performance for Live Cell Imaging Microscopy
Apr 05 2007
New, thermally-insulated, high-performance objectives may be specified from the Carl Zeiss LCI Plan-Neofluar and Plan-Apochromat ranges. Combined with a temperature sensor that is integrated into the culture vessel, the new objectives ensure that the required temperature is controlled accurately and reliably. Users may also specify the innovative LD Plan-Neofluar 20x and 40x phase contrast objectives, which combine positive and negative phase contrast in a single objective to deliver optimum contrasting of all object structures with a single objective.
An innovative range of stackable incubation components has also been designed especially for the Axio Observer. Highly versatile, these flex-free devices keep temperatures under maximum control while maintaining a clear, unobstructed workspace. High-performance filter sets enable up to 70% higher excitation intensity and up to 50% shorter exposure times while the fast-change 6-position reflector turret enables rapid switching of the filter sets and wavelength during an experiment.
All these components are automatically recognised by the Axio Observer's ACR (Automatic Component Recognition) function and integrated into the system configuration. On motorised models the entire suite of microscope parameters is displayed on the integrated flat panel monitor and may be operated via a selection of clearly arranged menus. Since all the settings are visible at a single glance the risk of mistakes is minimised, particularly if filter sets or objectives are shared between several microscopes.
