Zeiss Axiovert 40 C Inverted Phase Contrast Microscope with Binocular Head and Halogen Illumination
Product Description
The Zeiss Axiovert 40 C is a high-precision inverted phase contrast microscope optimized for live-cell imaging, routine cell culture observation, and transmitted-light microscopy. Featuring an inverted frame design, the objectives are positioned below the stage, enabling direct observation of samples housed in culture dishes, flasks, and other standard containers without slide transfer—making it essential for biotechnology research workflows such as molecular diagnostics and cellular analysis.
Key technical specifications include:
- Binocular head with front photo port suited for digital documentation and integration with compatible imaging systems.
- Ergonomic PL 10x/18 mm field of view eyepieces provide clear, wide-field visualization.
- A 4-position nosepiece accommodates multiple objectives for flexible magnification options.
- Flat top stage optimized for stable handling of culture vessels during extended observation sessions.
- Objectives:
- A-Plan 5x/0.12 Ph0 (phase contrast zero)
- A-Plan 10x/0.25 Ph1 (phase contrast one)
- LD A-Plan 20x/0.30 Ph1 (long-distance objective for phase contrast)
- 0.4 numerical aperture condenser equipped with phase slider enhances contrast for transparent specimens critical in live cell imaging and bioprocessing monitoring.
- Reliable halogen illumination light source ensures consistent, bright transmitted light with adjustable intensity.
Its compact footprint (9 x 24 x 21 inches) and lightweight design (25 lbs) facilitate installation in biomedical engineering laboratories and settings requiring routine cellular morphology assessments. Widely used in synthetic biology, gene editing, and biomanufacturing pipelines, the Axiovert 40 C supports essential microscopy tasks such as phase contrast visualization of unstained live cells and documentation of cell culture conditions.
This microscope package also includes phase ring sliders (Ph0-0.4 & Ph2-0.4), fixed stage, user manual, and 120V power cord. Fully inspected with clear optics, it is ready for immediate deployment in clinical diagnostics and research applications.
The Zeiss Axiovert 40 C delivers dependable phase contrast microscopy with integrated photo port capabilities, making it a valuable tool for researchers needing precise cellular imaging in biotechnology and life sciences domains.
