ZEISS Primostar 3 iLED is your microscope to visualize small structures down to 0.2 – 5 μm. So you can even observe objects such as the rod-shaped Mycobacterium tuberculosis. The gold standard for sputum smear microscopy is Ziehl-Neelsen staining and brightfield light microscopy. According to WHO1, LED fluorescence microscopy is even more sensitive and less time-consuming, making it a real alternative to the conventional standard.
With Primostar 3 iLED you:
✓ Easily switch between fluorescence and brightfield illumination
✓ Identify details up to four times faster than with brightfield microscopy1
✓Benefit from a special price as a customer from a country most heavily affected by TB
Using fluorescence and the 40× objective lens of your Primostar 3 iLED allows to visualize structures smaller than 0.5 μm such as Mycobacterium tuberculosis. With the large field of view you identify such details up to four times faster than with brightfield microscopy.
*The protocol and microscope recommendation shown in the video is based on the experience of the WHO reference laboratory in Gauting.
