Name and intended application

Manufacturer's name:
The Axioskop 2 FS plus and Axioskop 2 FS
electrophysiological applications. They can be used as transmitted-light microscopes or, with epi-
fluorescence equipment, as combined transmitted-light / incident-light microscopes.

Instrument description and main features

With the advanced pyramid and modular design, the Axioskop 2 FS plus incorporates time-tested
principles in microscope construction, thus ideally combining modern demands on design, operating
convenience and function with technical performance. Thanks to the modular design, existing
microscope modules of the Axioplan 2, such as tubes, intermediate tubes and condensers, are easy to
attach.
The Axioskop 2 FS plus is offered as a manual and a motorized version. The basic stand is equipped with
either manual (Axioskop 2 FS plus) or motorized operation and function controls (Axioskop 2 FS
but is otherwise identical for both versions.
Depending on the instrument configuration, the following microscopy and contrasting techniques are
possible:
Transmitted-light:
- brightfield
- darkfield
- phase contrast
- differential interference contrast (DIC)
If ordered, the optional epi-fluorescence equipment including the adjusting aid is integrated in the
microscope stand on delivery. For technical reasons, retrofitting of existing instruments with the epi-
fluorescence equipment should be performed by Zeiss service staff.
The binocular tubes and the suitable adapters allow one microscope camera, one SLR camera or one
video camera to be attached for documentation purposes.
