ZEISS Axiovert 5 – Inverted Microscope with Phase Contrast & DIC

ZEISS Axiovert 5 DL – Transmitted light brightfield, phase contrast & PlasDIC for demanding cell and routine applications

The Axiovert 5 DL is a reliable inverted microscope for daily work in cell culture, teaching and routine laboratories.
It offers transmitted light brightfield, phase contrast Ph1 and the high-resolution PlasDIC contrast method, which makes fine structures and interfaces visible – ideal for transparent samples, adherent cells, thin tissue layers or material surfaces with little inherent structure.

The 6-position coded objective turret, bright LED illumination and integrated light manager ensure reproducible results and efficient workflows.
With a phototube and optional Axiocam camera, the system is optimally prepared for image documentation.

A robust, versatile base unit for laboratories that value user-friendliness, ZEISS optical performance and reproducible results.
