1.1 Name and intended application
Manufacturer's name: Inverted microscope for transmitted light and epifluorescence
Brief name: Axiovert 200 (manual version)
Axiovert 200 M (motorized version)
The Axiovert 200 microscopes fit in the product family of inverted transmitted-light microscopes as
follows:
Laboratory microscopes Research microscopes
− Axiovert 25
− Axiovert 25 C
− Axiovert 25 CFL
− Axiovert 200
− Axiovert 200 M
The Axiovert 200 microscopes are universally applicable inverted microscopes and are mainly used for the
examination of cell and tissue cultures and of sediments in culture flasks, Petri dishes, microtiter plates,
etc. in transmitted and reflected light.
The Axiovert 200 microscopes permit the performance of the transmitted-light techniques brightfield,
phase contrast, differential interference contrast and VAREL contrast, and the epi-fluorescence
technique.
The microscopes Axiovert 200 and Axiovert 200 M are the basis for scientific microscopic work on living
cells.
− The sturdy stand provides attachment possibilities for various tools (micromanipulation), different light
sources, temperature control devices, etc.
− Ample space is available for the specimens and the relevant handling systems on account of the
inverted design, the LD illumination system of the microscope and the use of fixed stages. This
permits the performance of experiments which would not be possible with upright microscopes.
− The design allows the easy attachment of cameras, lasers, specific stages, etc.
