AX70 Industrial Research System Microscope

The reference standard for future microscopes

The dramatic progress in biological and medical research demands that microscopes do more than answer today's needs. To be viable, they must also offer the performance potential and system flexibility to accommodate tomorrow's research needs. To date, only one microscope fulfills all these demands - the AX70 Research Microscope from Olympus. Offering uncompromising performance and outstanding system integration potential, the AX70 is a reference standard for future microscopes. *PROVIS stands for "Professional VISion"

AX70 and it's Universal Photo System - the ultimate combination for fully automatic photomicrography

The AX70 and its automatic photomicrography system represent the ideal combination for scientific applications. Using the AX70 together with the U-PHOTO Universal Photo System provides a very advanced level of microscope performance and sophisticated photomicrography capabilities. Combining the mainframe and its corresponding auto focus function with the U-AFPHOTO and motorized units integrates innovative technology with a system that fully supports automated photomicrography. This combination offers fast auto focus in brightfield, darkfield, fluorescence*, and Nomarski Differential Interference Contrast*, and provides automatic light intensity adjustment for the objective in use as well as automatic observation light path selection. Flexible moving spot measurement ensures optimum exposure regardless of specimen distribution. A built-in Super FL Auto mode offers fully automatic exposure control for fluorescence photomicrography. And easy, flexible framing is assured via the zoom magnification system. By centralizing operation with a multi-control box, the entire procedure from observation through photomicrography can be effectively automated. The U-PHOTO 20/80 is also available from Olympus for simultaneous eyepiece and video camera observation. 'The Auto focus can be activated by inserting an optional memory card in fluorescence and Nomarski DIC microscopy.

Effective solutions to research demands from a flexible system geared to fulfill present and future requirements

The AX70 starts by offering all the advantages of the proprietary UIS optical system to provide the best image quality possible - and adds universal adaptability for rapid changeovers between various microscopic techniques. The specially designed Y-shape frame assures superb operator comfort. A choice of illuminator systems suits a range of different microscopic methods. And the system's substantial frame accepts heavy attachments for image processing and photometry applications. These and many other advanced features boost the performance of the AX70 and ensure flexible system upgradability, Olympus further maximizes system versatility with various accessories including the AX-REXBA to optimally balance fluorescence for double-stained fluorescing specimens. The broad range of accessories available ensures that Olympus answers every user need, Thanks to these and other significant advantages, the PROVIS AX70 system accommodates increasing[y complex and multi-facetted research and experimental requirements.
