The Axio Imager / Axio Imager MAT microscopes have been designed as universal microscopes for
applications in biology and medicine for the examination of blood and/or tissue specimens from the
human body, as well as for materials examinations.
They may also be used as true reflected-light microscopes or, if equipped with transmitted-light
equipment, as combined reflected-light/transmitted-light microscopes.
Typical biomedical applications of the Axio Imager 2 microscopes include:
− Medical examinations in laboratories (research), clinics and medical practices
− Science and research (colleges, universities) in the fields of medicine and biology
− Industrial applications (pharmacology, food technology)
Typical applications of the Axio Imager MAT microscopes include:
− Metallographic laboratories
− Automotive industry
− Microsystems engineering
