4 Multichannel Fluorescence Channels with Just One Click

Acquiring fluorescent images has never been so easy. Combine Axioscope 5 with the LED light source Colibri 3 and the sensitive, standalone microscope camera Axiocam 202 mono to have the perfect setup for easy multichannel fluorescence documentation.
Switch effortlessly between the channels for UV, blue, green and red excitation. Just select the relevant channels and press Snap. The system then takes over and automatically adjusts the exposure time, acquires the image, switches the channel and starts again. That's it: you get your overlayed multichannel fluorescence image including scale bar – even without a PC.

Smart Microscopy Makes Digital Documentation Faster

Smart Microscopy Makes Digital Documentation Faster

Axioscope 5 makes documenting your specimens very efficient. The color impression shows up in the camera image exactly the same as it appears through the eyepieces. This smart microscope makes automatic adjustments for brightness and white balance to keep digital documentation easy. All you have to do is focus on your sample, press the ergonomic Snap button on the microscope, and that's it.

Enhance Ergonomics in Your Clinical Lab

Axioscope 5 is designed with ergonomics in mind. The microscopes feature an adjustable ergotube, allowing you to modify the eyepiece height and angle to match your natural posture. All essential buttons and controls are within easy reach, reducing the risk of repetitive strain injuries. The light manager automatically adjusts the illumination, you don't need to manually adjust lamp brightness, saving time and reducing eye fatigue.

Digital Documentation Made Easy

Used in combination with Axiocam 202 mono or Axiocam 208 color, you have the full advantage of a smart standalone microscope system. Camera settings such as white balance, contrast and exposure time are done automatically. Without needing additional imaging software or even a computer, you can:

  • Snap images and record videos directly from your stand
  • Use the mouse to control your camera via on-screen display (OSD)
  • Save settings
  • Store images with all metadata of the microscope and camera as well as scaling information
  • Predefine the name or rename your image
  • How-to Use a Barcode Reader with Smart Microscopy in Stand-Alone Mode

    Faced with a high volume of samples or with sensitive data – or with both – uncomplicated, precise data management is key: you need to work quickly and with total data accuracy.

    That’s where barcode labeling comes into its own, helping you work through even large sample quantities with great ease and reliability. Your smart microscope from ZEISS lets you assign microscope images with the correct scaling information to barcode-labeled samples. Just use your Axiolab 5 or Axioscope 5 microscope with Windows PC or iPad, connect a barcode reader to your Axiocam 208 color microscope camera and you’re good to go.

    Faced with a high volume of samples or with sensitive data – or with both – uncomplicated, precise data management is key: you need to work quickly and with total data accuracy. That’s where barcode labeling comes into its own, helping you work through even large sample quantities with great ease and reliability.

    Just use your Axiolab 5 or Axioscope 5 microscope with Axiocam 208 color camera and connect it with your iPad. By scanning the barcode with the built-in camera of the iPad, Labscope will assign that particular barcode-ID to the acquired image.

Ergonomics

Work comfortably

In your clinical or biomedical lab you quickly evaluate the status of tissue to decide on further treatment. You regularly check a huge amount of tissue slides under time pressure. Speed is essential. This work can be tiresome as you sit the whole day in front of your microscope. Therefore, a comfortable and relaxed sitting position is key. All microscope controls need to be ergonomic and comfortable. And fit perfectly to your person.
