Axio Vert.A1 FL-LED Inverted Microscope with Fluorescence
- Product SKU: ZE-AXIOVA1-FL1
- Category: Microscopes, Microscopes, Cameras, Zeiss
Inverted microscope with binocular tube and phototube (0%/100%) for brightfield, phase contrast and fluorescence, including a set of 4 objectives (5x, 10x, 20x, 40x), condenser 0.4, object guide and universal mounting frame. The fluorescence is powered by Colibri 5 with UV-RGB LED.
Two classes of objectives available : LD A-Plan (achromat) for common tasks, and Plan-Neofluar for better performance in fluorescence.
Camera C-mount adapter available as an option for common sensors sizes (0.5x, 0.63x and 1x). Camera not included.
In partnership with ZEISS, Darwin Microfluidics has designed a Axio Vert.A1 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, including fluorescence over the 4 common channels thanks to the integrated Colibri 5 (UV-RGB) light source. Its robust design makes it a stable stand, and it is upgradable to catch-up with your research.
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 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 of seeing the common microfluidics objects, like droplets. For better contrast, all objectives have Phase contrast, but using as little phase rings as possible (Ph1 only for LD A-Plan objectives, Ph1 and Ph2 for Plan-Neofluar objectives).
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.

Colibri 5: affordable LED light source for high-end imaging
- Broad spectrum excitation: Four illumination channels cover the most important dyes, fluorescent proteins and probes
- Matched filters: The excitation filters in Colibri 5 have been specifically designed to precisely match the LEDs’ emission spectra. This avoids cross-talk between the different channels and greatly increases excitation efficiency of selected dyes. For highest imaging efficiency single and multiband path LED filters sets are available. Precise matching of LEDs with filters results in minimal crosstalk and maximum excitation and emission efficiency.
- High efficiency: Maximize light transfer efficiency, thanks to direct coupling and an optical design with reduced optical elements.
- Compact housing, low noise: The housing of Colibri 5 is optimized to consume as little space as possible. Colibri 5 will not disturb your work environment with a noisy fan or vibrations.
- Linearized LEDs: Be sure that any value you adjust your LED to, corresponds exactly to the power, that the LED emits. This means that e.g. a 50 % reduction will result in precisely half the power than running the LED at 100 %.
- Precise power output thanks to on-chip temperature sensing: Each LED emitter is equipped with an on-board temperature sensor to precisely measure the current temperature in the millisecond range
