Description: Axioplan 2 fully loaded with five Plan-Fluar objectives 2.5x, 10x, 20x PH2, 40X Ph2, 100X oil, and one super bright Zeiss objective: The 10X Fluar to capture extremely dim fluorescence images (Its brightness is like f/1.4 compared to a f/3.5 aperture in photographic lenses). There are four Fluorescent beamsplitter cubes that covers most of the spectrum, Mercury lamp BHO with power supply, with remote control, and 100W Halogen lamp. Additional DIC filter, and KG-1 filter slider to protect fluorescent filters, and phase contrast condenser optics. The microscope will be shipped with the optics already installed, plastic wrapped to prevent dust entering the system (no plastic lens bottles shown). Included is Zeiss's own CCD camera but needs Zeiss software to run. Axioplan 2 has computer interface capability to control the focus, fluorescent filter cube turret, as well as filter wheels beneath the Abbe condenser. The objective turret can be programed to memorize each objective, with their focus positions. This is useful when manually switching between magnifications. It takes some training to master the operation of Axioplan 2; A complete pdf user's manual is included. The microscope had a full CLA, and there is no dust in the optical path, the objectives/eyepieces are dust free on both ends. Custom made sample slide holder for standard 1"x3' microscope slides, hard to find from Zeiss. This is the best money can buy for a university department or research center. This is a solid microscope platform in mint condition; Shipping weight is 107 Lbs.
