Fig. 3 Bio / Med microscopes Axio Observer 3, 5 and 7
Axio Observer materials microscopes 3 materials, 5 materials, 7 materials (Fig. 4) are inverted light
microscopes for universal use. They are used in all areas of research-based and industrial microscopy.
Inverted microscopes permit the unrestricted use of conventional samples as a result of the highly
accommodating sample compartment. This facilitates the examination of samples, workpieces etc. of
large dimensions.
Typical fields of applications are:
− Inspection of material samples and components, checking of process results, such as determination of
component surface parameters, coating thicknesses
