Zeiss AXIO Observer Z1 Inverted Fluorescence Motorized Microscope with XY Stage
Product Description
The Zeiss AXIO Observer Z1 is a high-end motorized inverted fluorescence microscope designed for precise and reproducible imaging in cell biology, neuroscience, and biotechnology applications such as live-cell imaging, gene editing research, and molecular diagnostics. This configuration integrates a fully motorized system with key automation components enhancing multi-dimensional fluorescence analysis, critical in bioprocessing workflows and synthetic biology research.
Key features include:
- Motorized components: Automated XY stage with controller and joystick, Z-axis focus drive, 5-position fluorescence filter cube turret, 6-position objective turret, condenser, and lightpath for precise control of specimen positioning and focus.
- Fluorescence illumination: Exfo X-Cite 120 light source with light guide and collimating adapter, supporting multiple new fluorescence filter sets optimized for dyes such as DAPI, FITC, Texas Red, and Cy5, suitable for advanced fluorochrome imaging and molecular labeling assays.
- Optics: Zeiss Plan-Neofluar objectives (5x/0.15, 10x/0.30, 20x/0.50) combined with motorized condenser yielding high-contrast, high-resolution images across magnifications up to 1000x with optional objectives upgrades including Apochromat optics.
- Imaging system: Bestscope 8.3MP color CMOS camera with adaptable camera ports (up to 100% camera output), interfaced via C-mount adapter, coupled with Micromanager and ImageJ open-source software for multi-frame, multi-slice (Z-stacking), and multi-position acquisition essential for quantitative fluorescence and live-cell imaging workflows.
- Brightfield capability: Incorporated 100W halogen light source within illumination tower enables complementary brightfield microscopy alongside fluorescence imaging, suited for multifaceted biomedical investigations.
- Customization and expansion: Modular design supporting addition of phase contrast, DIC, polarization techniques, upgraded fluorescence light sources (Xenon, Metal Halide, LED), advanced CCD, sCMOS, EMCCD cameras, and higher numerical aperture objectives to meet demanding biomedical engineering and biopharmaceutical production analyses.
- Applications: Ideal for fluorescence microscopy of live and fixed cells, biotechnological assays, pharmacological research, developmental biology, and material science. The automated features facilitate complex experiments such as multi-position scanning, time-lapse imaging, and quantitative image analysis widely adopted in synthetic biology research and molecular cloning workflows.
This microscope is fully serviced with preventive maintenance completed, optics quality verified for distortion and fluorescence intensity, and includes a 180-day warranty in the USA with options for an extended 1-year warranty. Remote training and technical consultation are provided to optimize operation for your specific research needs. Robust service and parts availability support ongoing reliability in demanding laboratory environments.
By integrating precise motorized control with advanced fluorescence modules and high-resolution imaging technology, the Zeiss AXIO Observer Z1 is a critical instrument for biomanufacturing pipelines, molecular diagnostics, and cutting-edge biotechnology research requiring reproducible, high-throughput fluorescence imaging.
