Smart Digital Documentation

If you combine Axiocam 212 color with ZEISS Axiolab 5, Axioscope 5 or Axioscope 7 microscope stands you can experience the full concept of smart microscopy. The camera communicates with the microscope and always extracts the correct scaling information.

You benefit from:

Automatic adjustments for high color and contrast reproducibility.
An integrated system that saves you both space and money because no extra computer is needed.
Image data completeness since all metadata, including scaling, are automatically stored with your images.

… and all it takes is just a simple press of the Snap button.

ZEISS Axiocam 203 mono and Axiocam 212 color are supported from ZEISS Labscope 4.4 You can download the software via the portal or the app stores for free.
You can do measurements in the live image in stand-alone mode via the OSD. No additional hardware or software is required.
The automated functions such as white balance are available via USB, Ethernet, Wi-Fi and HDMI.
ZEISS Axiocam 203 mono and Axiocam 212 color get their power via an external power supply.
Yes, TWAIN plugin is available.
Yes, you can control the cameras via ZEISS Labscope or ZEN and simultaneously show the image on HDMI monitor. But, you cannot control by OSD while the camera is controlled by ZEN or Labscope.
Axiocam 203 mono and 212 color are not Wi-Fi cameras - but you can buy a ZEISS Wi-Fi adapter separately (5 GHz / 2.4 GHz) to connect to network.
The sensor diagonal for full sensor is 9.3 mm, for lower resolution 8.2 mm. A C-mount adapter of 0.5x is recommended for the adaptation to the microscope. With a 0.5x adapter a large field with an image diagonal of approximately 18.6 mm would be captured for full sensor acquisition, for lower resolution an image diagonal of approximately 16.4 mm would be captured. If necessary, the use of shading correction function is available to keep the image free from vignetting.
