Zeiss AxioVert 200
Inverted Fluorescence
Phase Contrast DIC
High Power

Main Features:

• Fully loaded configuration. This unit has been set up with some of the best options.
• Specifically configured for high power magnification, high numerical aperture, and high resolving power.
• High-quality fluorite objective lenses.
• DIC – differential interference contrast microscopy.
• Phase contrast microscopy.
• Manual frame. (Not motorized). The manual versions are rare. They are highly sought after because of their ease of usage and significantly less maintenance issues. On a motorized system, everything is controlled electronically and has to be programmed. These are prone to failure.
• LCD display shows the current microscope objective and illumination settings.
• Configuration has excellent capability to image using small to normal size specimen vessels. This would not be suitable if your specimen holder is large.

DIC Microscopy:

• Includes DIC on the 40x, 63x, and 100x.

Note: Unlike others who often describe equipment as being DIC, we actually test our equipment. We obtained high quality differential interference contrast images with our configuration. Oftentimes, mismatched or improperly configured DIC systems may initially appear to be correct until you try to get an actual image showing relief contrast. We were able to obtain textbook quality images. Anything less to us is unacceptable and indicative of improperly functioning equipment.

General Specifications:

• High power 100W halogen illumination. Compare this to the simple 30W versions. The 100W is superior for phase and DIC.

LCD Display: 

• We have programmed this frame to display which objective has been engaged. We have also programmed it so the light intensity is lower for the 5x and 10x so you do not hurt your eyes.
• Left side camera port.  100 percent to eyepieces, 100  percent to camera, or split to eyepieces and camera.
• Does not include a camera or c-mount. That is only shown to demonstrate how one can be connected.
• Electronic shutter to immediately cut the fluorescence light.  Also includes manual shutter slider.
• Eyepieces: W-PL 10 X/23
• Autosensing voltage: 100…240 VAC. 50…60 Hz.
• Top carrying handle.
• Travel focus lock stop (manually set).
• Six – place nosepiece.
• Field aperture and Field diaphragm sliders.
• Arc adjustment aid for ease of centering the bulb.
• Latest model HBO 100 lamp housing. This style is much easier to use than previous models.
• Transmitted light includes a daylight filter.
• Brand-new rubber eye cupping guards have been installed.

Objectives:

• 5x:  Fluor 5x / 0.25, Infinity/0.17.
• 10x:  Achroplan 10x / 0.25, Infinity/-. Ph1. Phase Contrast.
• 20x: EC Plan-Neofluar 20x / 0.5, Infinity/0.17. Ph2. Phase Contrast.
• 40x: Plan-Neofluar 40x / 0.75, Infinity/0.17. Ph2. Phase Contrast.
• 63x: Plan-Apochromat 63x / 1.40, Oil Immersion, Infinity/0.17. DIC (Red).
• 100x: Plan-Neofluar 100x / 1.30, Oil Immersion, Infinity/0.17.

Fluorescence Dichroic Filter Cubes:

• The reflector turret has spaces for five cubes.
• Three cubes are installed. All of them gave excellent quality imaging when testing the unit.
• FITC – Brightline fluorescence filter. Ex. 475/42. Em. 534/30.
• The DAPI – Zeiss filter Set Number 02. Ex. G365, FT 395, Em. LP 420.
• TRITC – Zeiss filter Set Number 15. Ex. BP 546/12, FT 580, Em. LP 590. This has a long pass emitter so gives orange in the eyepieces.
• Includes two blank blockers for the empty spaces. These are important to protect your eyes from damaging UV light.

Optovar Magnification Changer System:

• Magnification lens settings: 1x and 1.6x.
• This gives the ability to quickly change the magnification without needing to change the objective.

Mechanical XY Stage:

• This is a premium grade extra wide stage.
• This whole stage moves.
• Compare this to simple platform stages that have a sliding part that holds the vessel adapter and slides over the stage.
• XY controls are located on the right hand side.
• Multi-use stage adapter plate can hold normal glass slides, petri dishes up to 84 mm diameter, and other specimen vessels. It can also hold rectangular vessels up to size 84 mm x 109 mm. Email us about your specific needs as we can provide specific adapters.

User Manual and Instructions:

• Upon purchase, we will email links to the user manuals / instructions.

TERMS AND CONDITIONS:

One Year Parts and Labor Warranty:
We warrant this Microscope to be free from defects due to normal usage in normal operating conditions for a period of one year. Camera equipment (if included) is given a three month warranty. Objective lenses are excluded from warranty.
Additional warranty on microscope may be purchased if desired.

We will repair or replace equipment at no charge, during the one year warranty period. Both parts and labor are included. Buyer is responsible for shipping costs BOTH ways, paying for shipping cost to our designated repair facility and shipping cost back to buyer. Bulbs are considered user replaceable items and not covered.

Warranty Excludes Objective Lenses:
Our warranty excludes the objective lenses. There are several reasons for this. First of all, if the objective is good, it will continue good performance unless there is some user or environmental abuse. Abuse can be from oil getting on a non-oil immersion lens, contact with a solution that degrades the cement around the glass, contact with other chemicals that may stain, etch or pit the glass, scratching the lens by incorrect cleaning methods such as cloths not of lens cleaning quality, damaging the lens by scraping it on slides or metal slide holders on the stage, dropping on a hard surface, subjecting the objective to extreme humidity causing internal mold or mildew, etc.
In addition, objectives can’t feasibly be repaired. If an objective is damaged so that the optical quality is significantly diminished, it is suggested to throw it away. One solution is to send it back to the factory and incur a repair fee equal to about half the price of a new replacement. That is usually cost prohibitive. We professionally clean the front and back lens, and the outside barrel of the objective. But we do not open them up. That should only be done by the factory under strict conditions and with optical laser alignment. Generally, when someone other than the factory messes with a lens, the performance may still be acceptable, but likely will be noticeably lower quality when compared side by side with a new lens. So since defective objectives are generally thrown away, and replaced with another one, there is no need to warranty them. The user can easily find a matching objective and replace it on their own.

Objective Lenses – Condition:
All objectives have been professionally cleaned.
All are guaranteed to be free from optical defects. If any defect is found, it will be clearly noted in the ad.
Our inspection of the objective lenses includes checking for the following:
lens cracking, pitting, lens cement not intact, internal oil damage or oil seepage, glass fogging, glass hazing, stains on optical glass, mold or mildew stains, and delamination (separation of internal lenses).
