Zeiss Axio Compound Microscope A1

Inventory Classification
  • Materials Characterization
  • Optical Microscopy
  • Compound

The Zeiss Axio Scope A1 microscope was engineered for universities, research labs, industrial, and medical applications. It is a popular modular member of the Zeiss microscope family.

Besides teaching and medical research, industrial uses range from quality control and materials development to the geosciences including oil exploration.

A unique aspect of its design is that the upper and lower parts of the stand may be separated by 30mm and 60mm spacers up to a total distance of 110mm to allow large specimens to be examined directly under the objectives.
