Carl Zeiss VivaTome optical sectioning tool
26 June, 2011 byThe VivaTome is an optical sectioning tool for fluorescence microscopes. It has been designed to enable developmental and cell biologists to examine the dynamics of living specimens without extensive prior knowledge of optical sectioning.
Orled RL-18 high-output ring light
24 June, 2011 byWith the Orled RL-18 high-output ring light, the light from 18 high-output LEDS is refracted through an optical system to provide 60,000 lx at a working distance of 75 mm. The 62 mm clear diameter and 77.5 mm mounting diameter allow the light to be mounted on a wide variety of microscopes and other optical systems.
Carl Zeiss Axio Lab.A1 microscope
17 June, 2011 byThe Axio Lab.A1 microscope has been optimised for microbiology laboratories. The microscope has been ergonomically designed for daily use with all of the main operating elements covered in soft-touch materials and conveniently positioned within reach of the user’s fingers.
Carl Zeiss Intermediate LED tubes S
19 April, 2011 byThe Carl Zeiss Intermediate LED tubes S offer very good fluorescence homogeneity in a large stereo field. The fluorescence brightness and high contrast make them suitable for routine dissections of marked model organisms or for the screening of dyed cell cultures.
Carl Zeiss Axio Scope.A1 materials microscope
03 February, 2011 byThe flexible Axio Scope.A1 microscope system from Carl Zeiss is now being offered in a version for polarisation microscopy. With minimum effort, six different versions of the microscope can be specially and economically configured for polarisation techniques.
Carl Zeiss Shuttle & Find correlative light and electron microscopy solution
03 February, 2011 byCarl Zeiss has introduced an integrated hardware/software interface to connect light and scanning electron microscopes for materials analysis and correlative microscopy in the life sciences. The Shuttle & Find interface enables users to recall regions of interest in fixed specimens in an electron microscope, which were previously identified in a light microscope and vice versa. The entire process takes only a few seconds.
Leica A60 S and A60 F stereomicroscopes
25 November, 2010 byLeica Microsystems A series stereomicroscopes have been developed to meet the requirements in production of printed circuit boards or medical products. The Leica A60 F and A60 S stereomicroscopes make products and components optimally visible, enable subassemblies to be processed easily and increase productivity.
Revolution DSD white light confocal spinning disk microscope
07 October, 2010 byThe Revolution DSD (differential spinning disk) white light confocal spinning disk microscope is based on ‘aperture correlation’ which achieves a high degree of optical sectioning by active background rejection. This technique ensures that the DSD delivers high-contrast, low-background images with objective magnifications from 10x to 100x, using air, water or oil immersion lenses, making it suitable for a wide range of live cell, developmental and fluorescence applications.
