ZEISS Axio Vert.A1 for Life Sciences by ZEISS Research Microscopy Solutions

"Easy to use. High quality data. Zen software is effecient. Student friendly. In India not all can afford confocal micrscope. Training on this microscope will motivate students to go for higher-end microscopes. Money's worth."

"This microscope can be configured in so many ways. We have several that are fully loaded for brightfield, darkfield, polarized light, Nomarski DIC and specialize epi-fluorescence imaging."

"We use the Axiovert to study the effect of toxins and chemicals on cultured hepatocytes. It is a system with high potential; it comes with an incubation chamber, making it possible to study cells over extended periods of time. An effective system worth the price paid for it."

"We use this microscope for all our histology needs, from H&E, to peroxidase immunohistochemistry, to immunofluorescence. It takes a little getting used to, but after you learn the ropes, setting up a program allows you to take images of sets of slides quickly. The program for IF will remind you to change the filter to the right wavelength for the color you want to see, and will automatically control the shutter to minimize exposure time of your samples. For H&E, the color correction and white balance allows for publication-quality images to be acquired without any need for color correction in another program. The service rep from Zeiss has been to the lab several times, to help us train new users and bring us a filter to demo before we bought it. So far, this seems like a pretty good value for the money, from a trusted name in microscopy."

"The microscope is very useful and easy to handle."

"Zeiss is one of the leaders in microscopy for decades and is still improving."
