Examine and evaluate your living cells – quickly and easily
Primovert is specially designed for the examination of cell cultures. This inverted microscope combines efficiency with high optical performance. Primovert is compact and can be used directly in your cleanroom workbench. Quickly and efficiently examine unstained cells in phase contrast and GFP-labelled cells in fluorescence contrast. The inverted microscope is perfect for cancer and gene research. With Primovert HDcam and the Labscope imaging app for the iPad, you can observe and discuss cells with your colleagues regardless of the sterile workplace.
Highlights:
- Switch from phase contrast to fluorescence contrast when examining unstained and GFP-labelled cells.
- The inverted microscope can be easily integrated into your clean bench, allowing you to work directly in the sterile environment.
- Your Primovert is ready to use immediately. Reactivate the microscope in standby mode by pressing the button on the table.
- Primovert automatically switches to walk-away mode after 15 minutes of inactivity. This saves energy and extends the service life of the light source.
- Primovert HDcam has an integrated camera. With your iPad and the free Labscope imaging app, you can discuss the monitor image with your team. Take microscope images, create and comment on reports, and share them conveniently via Wi-Fi.
