ZEISS Axiovert for materials
Microstructural and Structural Analysis: A Question of Contrast.
Axio Vert.A1 is a compact, inverted microscope that brings you big insights.
You can examine large, heavy samples, using a wide range of classic and advanced contrast methods. You switch easily between brightfield, darkfield, DIC, C-DIC, fluorescence and polarization contrast in reflected light. In transmitted light, use brightfield, polarization and phase contrast. Axio Vert.A1 lets you choose the best methods – without compromise. Or you might decide to combine several contrast methods for the maximum amount of information.
The 5x encoded nosepiece turret recognizes a change of objectives automatically. It also enables the use of a light manager to save and recover light intensity values. You can quantify your structure efficiently, evaluate the properties and quality of your materials. Gain valuable new understanding and optimize preparation or production processes. And then take appropriate measures.
Microscopic analysis of metallic grain structures
Grain structure of metallic materials can typically be viewed by light microscopes. The preparation process of samples, also known as metallographic preparation, involves selecting appropriate procedures, selecting chemical or microscopic contrast, and enlargement. In this application note, Zeiss discusses the various techniques for imaging these grain structures.
ZEISS Legacy Continues: Advancing Microscopy at M&M 2017
Peter Lander discusses the legacy and development of ZEISS microscopy and the importance of conferences such as M&M. Its collaboration with scientists has enabled ZEISS to provide instrumentation that satisfies their needs, with the aim to develop simplified software that enables complementary and overlaying analyses over a range of its instrumentation.
