Ernst Abbe’s work on. image formation in the microscope which still serves as the basis of modern micro- scope optics, the develop- ment of Kohier illumination, phase contrast, anti-reflection coating and Plan-Apochromat objectives - these are all advances that have changed the course of microscopy and were realized industrially by Zeiss. In 1986, another chapter in the history of Zeiss micro- scopy will begin with the “pyramids of Zeiss”. A new generation of highly versatile microscopes with infinite image distance now makes it possible to perform all micro scope techniques with excep- tional ease. ICS optics: All micro- scopes feature advanced, newly computed optics which Zeiss has named ICS optics (nfinity-Cotor-Corrected- System). It guarantees brilli- ant, aberrationfree images over an exceptionally wide field with all available techni- ques. SI design: The innovative, system-integrated architec- ture of the new Zeiss micro- scopes permits incorporation ofall illuminating and contrast-enhancing techni- ques without impairing the integrity of the total system. A well-devised ergonomic design, utmost reliability, long-term performance and optimum value further characterize the “pyramids of Zeiss”, and lead the way to the future But don’t just take our word for it - see for yourself what an important difference the new universal micrascope Axioplan from Zeiss can make in your research, Zeiss universal microscope Axioplan: The dawn of a new Zeiss age in microscopy.Following the SI design principle, all components for incidentlight fluorescence ‘can be fully integrated in the Axioplan stand, Bright, brilliant fluorescence image with field of view 25.

The motion range is 75x50 mm. Precision guideways guarantee smooth and accurate horizontal motion of the stage top. The mm graduation for xand y with vernier is easy to read, The scale values have been chosen so as to eliminate any confusion between x and y. The stage can be reversed by 180° in its centering mount: itis then rotatable through 100° in its own ring bearing. This makes it possible to orient specimen structures optimally for DIC, to fit specimen features into the frame Format for photography and TV and to align structures along a micrometer scale or other reticles. A special swivelling lever prevents unintentional displacement of the specimen during rotation, The rotation position is lockable; the center of rotation can be easily centered to the optical SPECIMEN STAGES Mechanical stage SO/100°R Tn normal position with control on the right (R).

By simultaneous observation in transmitted light itis possible to allocate the Aluorescences to the non- Muorescent specimen structures, Equipment The accessories for inci: dent-light fluorescence can be integrated in the Axioplan stand thanks to the SI design, It consists of the following components: @ Incident-light fluorescence equipment with centrable luminous field icis diaphragm and slide with the three positions “clear aperture, red- attenuating filter, dark slide”, @ Reflector slide 3 FL, can be fitted with three filter sets The standard equipment consists of two filter sets (exciter filter, beam splitter, barrier filter), and one aperture. © Additional filter positions in the excitation and observa- tion beam paths for selec- table filter combinations (e.g. for taining tests, for double and multi-fluores- cence), Optimized filter combina- tions are offered for all presently used fluorescence applications, They comprise aan exciter filter, 2 dichromatic beam splitter and a barrier filter and are distinguished by high trans- mission and sharp cut-off edges. For fluorescence micro- scopy and photomicrography the Plan-Neofluar objectives are especially recommended. ‘The excellent combined performance of all compo- nents results in exceptionally bright images and thus short exposure times. 4 Fir needle, cross section Plan-Neofluar 10x/0.30 of reproduction 100:1seasoue sezamod pourason “won sou ‘onots BuOONILSAL STVIMELVW CG ADOTOI “ANIDIGAW YOd Bcc @}O 11): (9) 8 /,\) WAISAS NVIdOIXY aH
