Easy to use: The microscope is designed to be user-friendly, with intuitive controls and a straightforward workflow. This makes it easy to capture high-quality images quickly and efficiently. It is an excellent system to start to learn microscopy, best suited for internship students.
Routine work: The Zeiss Overserver Z1 is designed for routine work on fixed and live samples, making it an ideal tool for any research labs doing microscopy imaging experiments.
Versatile and powerful tool for imaging both fixed and living samples: The Zeiss Overserver Z1 is a versatile and powerful tool for imaging both fixed and living samples. With the Colibri 7, you can use up to six different LEDs to generate up to seven fluorescence excitation lines, covering a wide range from Blue to Far Red.
Ideal for live imaging: The microscope is equipped with an incubation chamber and heating sample holders, enabling you to perform live cell imaging under optimal conditions. Additionally, the high-speed monochrome camera allows you to capture dynamic processes with high temporal resolution while optimizing cell survival. The “COLIBRI” LED light source provides gentle and precise illumination, allowing for excellent live cell imaging with fast turn on/off capabilities.
Color Imaging: The microscope is also equipped with a high-resolution color camera ideal to image histological stained samples with excellent clarity and detail.
Large field of view and motorized stage: The large field of view of the color camera (that can be used in B/W mode for fluorescence), high resolution objective and a motorized stage make it well-suited for slide scanning, plate scanning, tiling of large images, and live cell imaging.
