Intended use

Axio Lab.A1 microscopes were designed as all-purpose microscopes for biological and medical
applications, as well as material analyses.
Depending on the microscope stand selected, they may also be used as true transmitted or reflected light
microscopes or as combined transmitted/reflected light fluorescence microscopes.
Typical biomedical applications of Axio Lab.A1 microscopes include:
Medical examinations in laboratories, clinics and medical practices
Science and research (colleges, universities) in the fields of medicine and biology
Industrial applications (pharmacology, food technology)
Analysis of human blood and tissue samples.
Typical material analysis applications of Axio Lab.A1 microscopes include:
Metallographic laboratories
Automotive industry
Microsystems engineering
Geoscientific institutes
Exploration industry
Depending on the instrument configuration, the following microscopy and contrasting techniques are
possible:
Transmitted light
Brightfield (H)
Darkfield (D)
Phase contrast (Ph)
Polarization (Pol)
Polarization (conoscopy)
Polarization (C-Pol)
The binocular photo tubes and suitable adapters permit one microscope camera, one reflex camera or
one digital/video camera to be attached for documentation purposes.
The Axio Lab.A1 was specially developed and designed for ergonomic use in lengthy routine applications,
e.g. haematological, histological and cytological laboratory examinations.
