Anyone who has worked in a cytology lab knows the steps and the time taken to count cells and assess confluence percentages.

Yet the actual task is so simple:
Take an image, count cell nuclei, compare visibly wettable areas.

Thanks to advances in computer-aided image recognition and processing, Axiovert 5 now makes it possible to automate the entire process.

Press the trigger button - in just a few seconds you will receive a mathematically evaluated report including image, cell count and area wetting as a percentage.

The multifunctional, movable condenser from Zeiss fits in the Axiovert 5 for a wide range of applications:

•Transmitted light and simple phase contrast,
•Differential phase contrast (Dic)
•Plastic differential phase contrast (PlasDic),
•Improved Hoffmann modulation (iHmc),

Various ring apertures and filters, as well as all common fluorescence methods can be used without modifying the instrument.

The condenser can be easily and safely moved aside so that you can position your samples on the wide sample stage without bumping into it.

This large stage also allows the use of more than one sample container and the condenser can be completely unhooked for easy sifting: This frees up more space for you.

The digital Version of the Axiovert 5 replaces the viewing tubus with a screen, creating even more free space for your setup.

The design concept includes not only the movable multifunction condenser but also the filter wheel and the nosepiece.

Everything has been thought of in the concept:

Switch effortlessly through magnification levels on the nosepiece and change excitation wavelength or polarization modes just as easily with the Taurus filter wheel.

Thanks to ZEISS Aqua Stop II, your objectives are even waterproof!
