Axio Imager - standing on flexibility & intelligence

Even at first sight, Axio Imager impresses with its stand design. What was important during the design process, however, was to ensure that this innovative architecture created the basis for an unusually high level of flexibility. Axio Imager is a microscope platform for every need and every budget - pre-configured or freely configurable, manual or motorised.

And as the wealth of information you are working with grows, so to the demands on communication and data management. Now, for the first time, a microscope fully complies with these requirements. Axio Imager incorporates intelligence and data interfaces into the stand for complete networkability and remote control. What’s more, this 'intelligence' means that the controls can help to simplify complex procedures.

The stands – an economical choice
A high degree of flexibility is offered by the two freely configurable stand variants: Z1 (motorised) and D1(manual). They are ideal for users who want to keep every option open for future applications. For clearly defined applications and budgets, the preconfigured stands M1 (motorised) and A1 (manual) are a particularly appropriate choice. With their generous basic features they are an attractive alternative.

The Imaging Cell – observe without vibrations
The core elements of Axio Imager, such as the nosepiece, z-guide and stage, have been systematically isolated from the stand as a “stable cell”. The entire unit has been designed to be virtually vibration-free and insensitive to thermal influences, even over long periods. This creates optimum conditions for imaging, especially for long experiments and time lapse image acquisition procedures.

ACR – intelligent and convenient
ACR (automatic component recognition) means that Axio Imager Z1 identifies automatically the objectives and reflector modules that you are using. If you exchange a component, the new component is immediately recorded in the system. This offers you an important advantage in ease of operation and security and eliminates operating errors and complex programming.

The TCP/IP protocol – opening up networking
Axio Imager is equipped with an Ethernet connection, which gives it an Internet and network capability. For the first time it is possible to control the microscope remotely via external workstations, allowing you to extend your operating range. In the future, it will also be possible to obtain online updates or remote services from Carl Zeiss via this interface.

The USB interface – rapid data flow
The new USB interface, together with the CANBUS system, ensures the rapid exchange of data between the microscope and your computer. A typical 3-channel fluorescence experiment with Axio Imager and AxioVision 4.3 is up to 40% faster.
