The Axio Vert.A1 is an inverted microscope from Carl Zeiss with
extensive performance capabilities. For the first time, a compact cell culture
microscope combines all standard contrasting techniques in a single stand.
In transmitted light, the Axio Vert.A1 offers brightfield, phase
contrast, polarization contrast, PlasDIC, VAREL and improved Hoffmann
modulation contrast (iHMC). The microscope is the only system in its class to
also offer differential interference contrast (DIC). This makes it possible to
record very fine structures in cells, enabling users to better assess cell
cultures. The Axio Vert.A1 is excellently suited for use in reproductive
medicine, particularly in in-vitro fertilization (IVF). The iHMC, PlasDIC and
DIC contrasting techniques are integrated to allow observation of egg cells and
sperm without any need to reconfigure the system. This protects the specimens
and saves both time and effort.
In fluorescence applications, the Axio Vert.A1 uses long-life LED
illumination. The entire image field is illuminated homogeneously; no alignment
is necessary. As LED excitation light does not contain any undesired UV
components, cell survival rate increases significantly.
The Axio Vert.A1 has been specially designed so that it can be
positioned directly beside the incubator or the sterile bench. Adapters allow
comfortable, upright work in either a seated or standing position. Due to the
ergo tube, the eyepieces can be tilted to allow comfortable and convenient
microscopy. This facilitates routine tasks and supports workflows in cases
where urgency is of the essence.
