This is Smart Microscopy

Digital Documentation Made Easy

Used in combination with Axiocam 202 mono or Axiocam 208 color, you have the full advantage of a smart standalone microscope system. Camera settings such as white balance, contrast and exposure time are done automatically. Without needing additional imaging software or even a computer, you can:

  • Snap images and record videos directly from your stand
  • Use the mouse to control your camera via on-screen display (OSD)
  • Save settings
  • Store images with all metadata of the microscope and camera as well as scaling information
  • Predefine the name or rename your image

How-to Use a Barcode Reader with Smart Microscopy in Stand-Alone Mod

Faced with a high volume of samples or with sensitive data – or with both – uncomplicated, precise data management is key: you need to work quickly and with total data accuracy.

That’s where barcode labeling comes into its own, helping you work through even large sample quantities with great ease and reliability. Your smart microscope from ZEISS lets you assign microscope images with the correct scaling information to barcode-labeled samples. Just use your Axiolab 5 or Axioscope 5 microscope with Windows PC or iPad, connect a barcode reader to your Axiocam 208 color microscope camera and you’re good to go.

How-to Use Scan a Barcode with Labscope and Smart Microscop

Faced with a high volume of samples or with sensitive data – or with both – uncomplicated, precise data management is key: you need to work quickly and with total data accuracy. That’s where barcode labeling comes into its own, helping you work through even large sample quantities with great ease and reliability.

Just use your Axiolab 5 or Axioscope 5 microscope with Axiocam 208 color camera and connect it with your iPad. By scanning the barcode with the built-in camera of the iPad, Labscope will assign that particular barcode-ID to the acquired image.

Ergonomics
Work comfortably
In your clinical or biomedical lab you quickly evaluate the status of tissue to decide on further treatment. You regularly check a huge amount of tissue slides under time pressure. Speed is essential. This work can be tiresome as you sit the whole day in front of your microscope. Therefore, a comfortable and relaxed sitting position is key. All microscope controls need to be ergonomic and comfortable. And fit perfectly to your person.

Configurations

With Axioscope 5 and Smart Microscopy You Are Prepared for Today and the Future. Choose the Configuration, Which Suits Best to Your Lab Workflow:

  • Stand-alone for basic routine imaging

    Axioscope 5 in combination with Axiocam 202 mono or Axiocam 208 color operates independently of a computer system.

  • ZEISS Labscope for advanced routine imaging

    Operating Axioscope 5 and Axiocam 202 mono or Axiocam 208 color with the imaging app Labscope is the ideal choice for connected microscopes and standard multichannel fluorescence imaging.

  • ZEISS ZEN for research applications

    With the imaging software ZEN you can perform advanced imaging tasks with your Axioscope 5.

Microscopy Solutions for Cytology and Cytopathology

Detect Diseases on the Cellular Level

Cytopathology or cytology aims to detect diseases on the cellular level by the study of single cells and cell structures. This pathology discipline was founded in 1928 by the Greek medicine pioneer George Papanicolaou who also invented the “Pap smear”. These smear tests are now commonly used in cytopathology where clinical samples from a wide range of body sites are spread and deposited across a glass microscope slide, resulting in a thin film of cells for subsequent staining and examination by light microscopy.

Microscopy Solutions for Hematology

The Science or Study of Blood

Hematology (alternate spelling “haematology”) is the science or study of blood, blood-forming organs and blood diseases. In clinical routine, hematologists diagnose and treat blood disorders and malignancies, including types of hemophilia, leukemia, lymphoma and sickle-cell anemia. Hematology is a branch of internal medicine that deals with the physiology, pathology, etiology, diagnosis, treatment, prognosis and prevention of blood-related disorders.

Blood consists of several components, including erythrocytes (red blood cells), leukocytes (white blood cells), thrombocytes (platelets) and plasma. All of the aforementioned cell types are produced in the bone marrow from multipotent precursor cells in a process called hematopoiesis.

Microscopy Solutions for Histology and Histopathology

Study the Manifestation of Disease by Microscopic Examination of Tissue Morphology

Pathology, histopathology or histology aims to study the manifestation of disease by microscopic examination of tissue morphology. In pathology, the sample to be examined under the microscope usually is the result of a surgery, biopsy or autopsy after fixation, clearing/embedding and sectioning of the tissue specimen. Alternatively, frozen section processing with a cryostat is done when rapid results are required (e.g. during surgery) or fixation would be detrimental to target structures such as lipids or certain antigens.

Microscopy Solutions for Microbiology

Prevention, Diagnosis and Treatment of Infectious Diseases

Microbiology is the branch of medical science concerned with the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of infectious diseases caused by pathogens such as bacteria, fungi, yeasts, parasites or viruses. A microbiologist studies the characteristics of pathogens, their modes of transmission, mechanisms of infection and growth to devise a treatment.

Microscopy Solutions for Semen Analysis

A Very Important Step Before Artificial Insemination

Semen analysis is a very important step before any artificial insemination is carried out. Semen is a fluid containing sperm cells, which is released during ejaculation. A normal sperm count is above 20 million sperm per milliliter of semen. The volume of semen is normally more than 2 milliliters.
