Carl
Zeiss, a leading provider of microscopy solutions for a variety of research,
clinical and industrial applications, introduces a new generation of ergonomic
and compact tissue culture microscopes with its Primo Vert Monitor. The
microscope makes the quick check of living cells faster and easier than ever
before, replacing traditional eyepieces with an integrated digital camera and
LCD display.
Primo Vert Monitor users can work in a more relaxed position because their
heads are no longer fixed to microscope eyepieces, allowing for easy and
convenient inspection of living cells whether users are sitting or standing.
Because the monitor can be tilted from 45° up to 80°, researchers can easily
adjust the LCD monitor to their individual posture. In addition, eyeglasses are
no longer an obstacle during microscopic work; they do not have to be removed
when checking microscopic images in the LCD monitor.
For documentation and safety purposes, the microscopic images can easily be
stored to the SD memory card via the integrated push-to-save camera. This does
not require a PC connection, allowing the whole system to work as a stand-alone
solution in all laboratories. Additionally, a computer can be connected to the
USB 2 port on the stand, and the images can be processed via the Carl Zeiss
AxioVision LE software at no additional cost.
Further advantages of Primo Vert Monitor are:
- For reliable microscopic images: high-quality optics provide high-contrast
and brilliant images. Long working distances provide plenty of space for cell
culture dishes.
- For more efficiency: there is one universal phase slider (Ph1) for all
objectives from 10x, 20x and 40x; this means no need to change phase positions
when switching magnifications.
- For the safety of our environment: Primo Vert Monitor is equipped with LED
lighting. LEDs are characterized by long-life and low-power consumption, saving
energy and saving costs.
- For easy orientation: objective-indicators for fast identification of
magnification.
- For convenient working: special skin-friendly material coated on all
operating elements and carrying handle on the back of the scope.
The traditional binocular version of Primo Vert was awarded the Reddot-Design
Award 2010.
