Zeiss Primotech materials microscopy system

Primotech is an imaging system for material analysis. The product can be used in industrial quality control, geology, mineralogy and education environments.

The system is offered in four stand variations, meaning configurations are available for a wide variety of applications. In routine applications, users can quickly and reproducibly analyse their products within the production process. In an educational setting, Primotech and the iPad imaging app Matscope transform classical learning environments into digital classrooms.

The integrated camera and various interfaces make it possible to connect the system to additional microscopes, printers or other devices. The Matscope app allows multiple users to view images from all connected microscopes on a projector, enhancing laboratory communications or the classroom experience. The app makes transferring images to PCs easy and offers measuring tools for material analysis. Additional measuring tools are available for certain applications, such as the inspection of circuit board traces, which increase throughput. Users can create reports and send them via email.

The encoded nosepiece turret automatically recognises the attached objective and adjusts scalings in the sample image, reducing sources of error. The large sample space allows users to analyse objects up to 34 mm in size. Simultaneous reflected- and transmitted-light illumination makes it possible to view both transparent and non-transparent materials on the one microscope. The product can also be used to analyse birefringent structures.
