Upgrade Your Technology and Expand Your Research Possibilities

Do you have an aging microscope in your lab?

Whether you are a current ZEISS customer or not, we can help you acquire the newest ZEISS technology. This upgrade offer allows special pricing and access to our world-class labs to support data collection for your funding application.

We will honor this offer through September 2025.

Upgrade Your Research-Grade Light Microscopes

Do you currently work with an older research compound or stereo microscope? Use this offer to upgrade to a new ZEISS Axio Observer inverted microscope,  ZEISS Axio Imager 2 upright microscope, ZEISS Axio Examiner fixed stage microscope, ZEISS Axio Zoom.V16 or ZEISS SteREO Discovery microscopes for large fields and 3D vision.

Here are a few features you might consider with your new research stand:

Conventional widefield image and Optical sectioning with Apotome 3

Confocal-like Imaging on a Widefield Microscope

ZEISS Apotome 3 is a robust, easy-to-use optical sectioning tool providing crisp imaging for cells, tissues and small model organisms in 2D and 3D. No expertise or special sample preparation is required. It is economical compared to a confocal and other advanced fluorescence systems, making it an ideal choice for single labs.

Hands-free Detection, Calibration and Focusing

ZEISS AI Sample Finder on ZEISS Axio Observer 7 will reduce your time to start imaging from minutes to seconds. AI Sample Finder automatically calibrates the sample carrier, focuses your sample, and finds your sample region, all without bleaching or damaging your cells. Increase your efficiency and enable novice microscopy users to collect large amounts of data accurately, remotely and without crashing objectives. Sample and carrier information is automatically fed into the experiment file and is ready to begin imaging.

Simplify Image Documentation and Sample Navigation

ZEISS ZEN Connect streamlines documentation and sample navigation by automatically recording and cataloging your image acquisition across your slide. Combine images from any camera or system allowing you to correlate photos from lab notebooks, cell phones and across the full scale of microscope images. An interactive map allows you to review your images and navigate to new areas with a simple double click; all while knowing exactly what you have already imaged.

Upgrade Your Laser-Based System

If you are using an older confocal microscope for 3D imaging, an older multiphoton microscope for deep tissue imaging, a spinning disk microscope for live cell imaging, or another laser-based system, leverage this offer for a new laser-based system from ZEISS and get access to these technologies:

Confocal Microscopy with Unlimited Fluorophores, Super-resolution and Higher Throughput

The revolutionary design of ZEISS LSM 980 and LSM 900 confocal microscopes breaks the barriers many scientists face with older confocals. In addition to high sensitivity for crisp imaging even with delicate samples, gain spectral flexibility and use any fluorophore with overlapping excitation and emission spectra into the NIR. The LSM Plus feature provides improved resolution and signal-to-noise for all your imaging data, enabling faster acquisition speeds and gentler imaging for your live cell applications and more accurate signal separation for your spectral data. The ZEISS Airyscan 2 detector adds more versatility to your confocal system, adding super-resolution capabilities, with jDCV, the resolution of the system can be pushed to ~90 nm. Add Multiplex mode for increased speeds and higher throughput.

Unprecedented Super-resolution for Live or Fixed Cells

ZEISS Elyra 7 with Lattice SIM² takes you far beyond the diffraction limit of conventional microscopy to super-resolution. You can now double the conventional SIM resolution and discriminate the finest sub-organelle structures, even those no more than 60 nm apart, in living cells using standard fluorophores. Or utilize single molecule localization microscopy (SMLM) for techniques such as PALM, dSTORM and PAINT to achieve lateral resolution of 20-30 nm, the highest level of super-resolution for light microscopy.

Fast, High-Resolution Imaging of Large Samples including Cleared Tissues and Developing Embryos

Use light sheet fluorescence microscopy (LSFM) to collect amazingly high-resolution data throughout a large sample at extremely high speeds. ZEISS Lightsheet 7 equips you for fast imaging of your optically cleared organs or large tissue sections. Its gentle illumination and unique sample handling also enable long term acquisitions of developing model organisms from Drosophila to zebrafish, mouse embryos and plants.

Upgrade Your Electron Microscope

From compositional contrast to topographical imaging and 3D reconstruction of ultrastructure, both new and experienced electron microscopy users can benefit from the high resolution, low voltage, gentle imaging of electron microscopy. ZEISS Gemini technology minimizes your time-to-image with inlens secondary and/or backscattered electron detection while maximizing low voltage, high resolution imaging with beam booster technology. Leverage this offer for special discounts and sustained pricing on a new ZEISS field emission scanning electron microscope (FE-SEM).

Ease-of-Use High Quality Imaging

ZEISS Sigma field emission scanning electron microscope offers an excellent price-to-performance ratio. With its four-step workflow, experience fast time-to-image and save time on training - especially in a multi-user environment. Characterize all your biological samples with the latest detection technology. Produce high resolution transmission images with the aSTEM detector. With the C2D and VPSE detectors of Sigma in variable pressure mode, you can work at low vacuum and can expect crisp images with up to 85% more contrast.
