Investigate, develop and analyze materials, especially metallographic specimens, in no time at all with ZEISS Axio Observer. Take advantage of its inverted design. Axio Observer combines the quality of ZEISS optics with automated components. Gain reliability and reproducibility. Using dedicated software modules enables you to analyze, for example, non-metallic inclusions (NMI) and grain sizes. Axio Observer is your open imaging platform: invest in only the features you need today.
✓ Save time in metallographic investigations
✓ Count on reliable results and excellent image quality
✓ Invest only in the features you need today
Choose between three different levels of automation and motorization
With motorized z-focus, Automatic Component Recognition that will always recognize the settings for objectives and filter sets you have chosen, touchscreen display and if desired a remote control.
With and encoded nosepiece, light-manager, CAN and USB interface that enables a read-out of the magnification.
• Enjoy maximum homogeneity and a stray light free image background in brightfield and darkfield - disturbing stray light is minimized and color aberration is reduced.
• Investigate your samples with polarization contrast - using fixed analyzers, a measuring analyzer rotating through 360° and a rotating analyzer with rotating full-wave plate. Visualize bireflection and pleochroism on anisotropic samples even if no rotary stage is available.
• Take advantage of Circular Differential Interference Contrast (C-DIC), a polarization-optical technique which uses circularly polarized light.
