    Efficient heat and IR removal in the collector lens protects interference exciter filters from unnecessary energy. The automation capability (RS232C/GPIB) of the PROVIS AX70 makes it an ideal base for automated FISH imaging stations.
  • Page 18 Sophisticated photo and video documentation systems. U-PHOTO Universal Photo System The U-PHOTO Universal Photo System is an automatic photomicrography system that provides fully automatic functions for photomicrography. These include a flexible spot measurement function, a Super FL Auto mode specifically designed for fluorescence photomicrography, and a zoom magnification changeover.
  • Page 19 *Use of auto focus with AX70 requires U-AFPHOTO, AX-FOM, U-MCB and AX-PCBT. Since modification of AX70 unit is also required, please consult your Olympus dealer. – especially for frequent users of photo- micrography or video documentation.
  • Page 20 Fluorescence microscopy dedicated accessories support full research efficiency. AX-REXBA* The use of a dual-band filter allows simultaneous observation of double- stained specimens. With the conventional observation method, photomicrography or image documentation with optimally balanced light intensity is difficult since one of the two fluorochromes may emit fluorescence that is too weak or too strong.
