ZEISS Axiolab 5 for Material Analysis: Efficient Materialography and Intuitive Documentation
Seamless Digital Documentation

The ZEISS Axiolab 5 redefines the standards for digital materialography. It is the ideal choice for demanding applications in routine material analysis, where high standards for ergonomics and efficient digital documentation are paramount. Axiolab 5 is not just a technological innovation but also an economically compelling solution, thanks to the Smart Microscopy concept that eliminates the need for additional imaging software and computers.

Effortless Digital Documentation

Capturing images is a breeze with ZEISS Axiolab 5. Once you've identified the area of interest, a simple press of the capture button on the stand is all it takes to capture the image. The intuitive controls allow seamless operation of the microscope and camera without the need to reach awkwardly, enabling you to focus entirely on the sample.

Smart Ergonomics for Relaxed Laboratory Work

Axiolab 5's user-friendly design and ergonomic control concept are precisely tailored to laboratory workflows. All controls, including the capture button, stage drive, as well as light intensity and focus adjustment, are easily accessible with one hand.

The Economical and Reliable Solution

Axiolab 5 offers not only technological sophistication but also economic benefits. Utilizing all the advantages of Axiolab 5 requires neither a computer nor additional software. The Smart Microscopy System allows for intuitive operation, quickly familiarizing users with reliable data, regardless of whether the system is used by experts or less experienced operators.

The Smart Microscopy Concept: A Boost to Your Productivity

In combination with the ZEISS Axiocam 208 color microscope camera, Axiolab 5 provides all the benefits of an intelligent stand-alone microscope solution. Digital documentation becomes an integral part of the workflow: simply press the ergonomic capture button, and you're done! Camera settings such as white balance, exposure time, and image optimization functions are automatically adjusted. Without the need for additional imaging software or computers, you can:

• Capture images and videos directly at the stand
• Control the camera via the on-screen display using a mouse (and keyboard if necessary)
• Save settings
• Store all meta and scaling data from the microscope and camera
• Predefine or edit image names
