In partnership with ZEISS, Darwin Microfluidics has designed an Axiovert 5 setup adapted to advanced experiments in microfluidics and biology.

This inverted microscope setup is made for both routine and advanced experiments,  in microfluidics and/or biology. Its robust design makes it a stable stand, and it is ready to be upgraded to follow your research works.

We have opted for a large specimen stage with an object guide so that you will be able to find your area of interest and get it precisely in the center of the field of view. The 0.4 condenser (55 mm of working distance) gives you enough space to set up your experiment, and 10 W LED illumination provides a powerful source of white light.

We have chosen a set of objectives with magnification from 5x to 40x, giving you the ability to see the common microfluidics objects, like droplets. For better contrast, all objectives have Phase contrast but use only one phase ring (Ph1).  

This microscope comes with a binocular tube with an intermediate photoport (0%/100%), letting you fit a camera, for which we also provide adapters as an option.

You can find more details and applications in the brochure.

Axiovert A1 Bio Contrast

Using All Standard Contrast Techniques, It’s in a Class of its Own

Besides Brightfield and Phase contrast, you can upgrade your microscope with PlasDIC, VAREL, improved Hoffman Modulation Contrast (iHMC), DIC, and Fluorescence contrast.

Axiovert A1 Bio LED

LED Excitation for fluorescence:
gentle on your living samples

This stand can be upgraded with epi-fluorescence, using among other sources LED excitation.
With LED, profit from an extremely long lifetime of the light source.
Homogeneous illumination saves you time.
LED illumination immediately works with full intensity – there is no heating and cooling period required.
    Axiovert A1 Bio Ergonomic Design

    Ergonomic Design Makes Your Work Easier

    Ease of use is built right into Axiovert 5: Whether you are sitting or standing, simply use intermediate pieces to work comfortably in an upright position. The ergo tube lets you tilt the eyepieces as much as you need. You can always view your samples easily.
