Be smart.
Use Smart Microscopy.
Axiovert 5 delivers excellent results with fast time to image. Simply focus your sample and press a single button to save a crisp image of your cell or tissue culture. For transmitted light and multichannel fluorescence images, this smart microscope automatically adjusts the settings and parameters for you. The overlayed multichannel fluorescence image, including a scale bar, will be saved in the image file metadata.

Go for a Future-Proof Cell Culture Microscope.
From routine cell culture to research, Axiovert 5 fits seamlessly into your lab and workflow.
Various contrasting techniques – DIC, iHMC and phase contrast as well as multichannel fluorescence – open up a huge diversity of applications. Should your work requirements change, Axiovert 5 will adapt, too.
With upgradeable hardware or software, this smart microscope will always remain your reliable lab partner.

Relax.
And enjoy your daily routine
Axiovert 5 supports you throughout your daily work. Just keep your eye on your sample: you can access all the main controls with one hand. The Light Manager provides uniform brightness at all magnifications, eliminating manual adjustments to the lamp intensity when you’re changing objectives. To increase the speed and reliability of your cell procedures even more, opt for the AI Cell Confluency and AI Cell Counting modules in Labscope. You’ll get instant, reproducible information on your cells.
Fluorescence Imaging

Capture Four Fluorescence Channels.
With Just One Click.
Combine Axiovert 5 with the high-performance LED light source Colibri 3 and any ZEISS microscope camera will give you the perfect setup for easy multichannel fluorescence documentation. Switch effortlessly between the channels for UV, blue, green and red excitation and press Snap. The system will then take over and automatically adjust the exposure time, acquire the image, switch the channel and start again. That's it: you get your overlayed multichannel fluorescence image, including a scale bar.
Make Your Cell Experiments More Reproducible
It’s time to start making your experiments more reproducible, using pre-trained artificial intelligence to analyze the number of cells and the covered cell area automatically.
The ZEISS Labscope modules AI Cell Confluency and AI Cell Counting fit perfectly into your workflow. Examine your cells as usual, then simply take a picture as you move from one position to another in your cell culture vessel. The images are analyzed automatically, and you will receive an instant result, visually and quantitatively.
