Equipment

The Zeiss Axio Imager Z2 Vario is a high performance, multi-function optical microscope. The precise motorized microscope stage is equipped to analyze very large samples up to approximately 40cm X 40cm X 12cm (L W H). There are four sample illumination modes (including dark field and DIC), six objective lenses, and a color camera with resolution that reaches the limit of optical microscopy.
