Axioscope 5 – Smart Laboratory Microscope for Biomedical Routine and Research

Your Smart Microscope for Biomedical Routine and Research

Focus. Snap. Done. Forget about the 15 steps and clicks to document samples with multiple fluorescent labels. With Smart Microscopy, this is a thing of the past. Axioscope 5 with Axiocam 202 mono and Colibri 3 LED illumination take this workload from you. You keep your hands at the microscope stand. Relaxed.

Capture Four Fluorescence Channels with Just One Click

Acquiring fluorescent images has never been so easy. Combine Axioscope 5 with the high performance LED light source Colibri 3 and the sensitive, standalone microscope camera Axiocam 202 mono to have the perfect setup for easy multichannel fluorescence documentation. Switch effortlessly between the channels for UV, blue, green and red excitation. Just select the relevant channels and press Snap. The system then takes over and automatically adjusts the exposure time, acquires the image, switches the channel and starts again. That’s it: you get your overlayed multichannel fluorescence image including scale bar – even without a PC.

Smart Microscopy Makes Your Digital Documentation Faster

Axioscope 5 makes documenting your specimens very efficient. The color impression shows up in the camera image exactly the same as it appears through the eyepieces. The smart Axioscope 5 system makes automatic adjustments for brightness and white balance to keep digital documentation easy. All you have to do is focus on your sample, press the ergonomic Snap button on the microscope, and that’s it. Acquiring high quality images with high color fidelity has never been easier – and faster.

Benefit from Smart LED Illumination

Axioscope 5 uses its transmitted white light LED to provide powerful illumination with high color fidelity. You will clearly see the subtle differences in your sample. And experience all the advantages of LED illumination such as stable color temperature, low energy consumption and long lifetime. Axioscope 5 comes with a light intensity manager that produces uniform brightness at all magnifications. Adjusting lamp brightness when you change magnification is a thing of the past. That saves you time and reduces eye fatigue, too.
