Faster results. More information.
Axio Zoom.V16, the apochromatic on-axis zoom microscope by Carl Zeiss, delivers 
both high resolution and a zoom range of 16x. With its large working distance 
and a single objective, you will be zooming seamlessly from large object fields 
to the smallest detail. Large tile-images at low to medium magnification rates 
are a special strength, enabling you to enjoy the speed and ease of auto-mated 
stitching. The objective aperture of Axio Zoom.V16 is big compared to stereomi-
croscopes and leads to resolution rates that are clearly better, particularly at low 
to medium magnification. Imaging is a lot faster: Capture images more efficiently 
and speed up your quantitative analyses.

Axio Zoom.V16: simpler, more intelligent, more integrated.
Zoom between minute detail 
and large object fields.
Your Axio Zoom.V16 combines its 16x zoom with 
a high numerical aperture and large working dis-
tance: even at low and medium magnifications you 
will achieve resolutions up to twice as high as with 
conventional stereomicroscopes. Don’t waste your 
time stitching tile-images: now you can image 
entire components with just a few shots. Work up 
to four times faster, achieve results in a more 
effective way and reduce sources of error. 
The zoom microscope that’s made 
for your application. 
Axio Zoom.V16 works with a motor-driven iris so 
you can select the ideal mode for your application 
at the touch of a button. Brightness Mode captures 
your images with the highest possible intensity 
across the whole zoom area. Use Eyepiece Mode 
when you want to analyze your samples visually 
through the Axio Zoom.V16 eyepiece. Zoom from 
large object fields with a maximum depth of field  
in high magnifications, achieving the highest 
possible resolution. In Camera Mode, your Axio 
Zoom.V16 automatically matches the resolution to 
the performance of your camera. Throughout the  
whole zoom range, Axio Zoom.V16 chooses the 
best ratio between resolution and depth of field.
EpiRel produces a relief-like image contrast.
The EpiRel slider in the Epi-Illuminator Z of your 
Axio Zoom.V16 produces an impressive effect in 
coaxial incident light when you slightly incline the 
illumination to produce a relief-like image contrast. 
Now you will discover textures and small ridges, 
particularly at high magnification. Objects will take 
on more contour than in conventional brightfield.

Your insight into the technology behind it
eZoom produces images with more precision
The zoom body or ‘pancrat’ is the core of stereo 
and zoom microscopes. While zooming, it uses a 
motor drive to position the lenses of your  
Axio Zoom.V16 individually, achieving  
extreme precision.
Now eZoom images are twice as sharp 
With Axio Zoom.V16, eZoom replaces the 
mechanical curve with an electronic one.  
Each zoom body describes its own zoom curve  
and captures visibly more details.
The defocus curve shows it clearly: eZoom follows 
the base line for image sharpness over the magni-
fication range with twice the precision of a mecha-
nical zoom body.
When the micro clapper of the computer controlled glue 
leveling machine brings eZoom’s lens in the zoom body 
into position...
...it is glued and cured with UV light.
The zoom body adjustment device calculates the zoom 
control curve from around 7,000 reference points.

Axio Zoom.V16 at Work
With Axio Zoom.V16, you have an overview of entire components. Then, magnified 50 times, the geometric architecture of the electrodes becomes visible.  
You will see details such as the layer thickness of the active material, arresters and separators. Use these detailed insights to draw conclusions about manufacturing defects.

During forensic analyses, examine traces that lie deep in projectile cases. Thanks to the high resolution of your Axio Zoom.V16, you will capture them in every detail.  
The coaxial incident light minimizes reflections. You can document even the faintest traces with great reliability. Use the software module Extended Depth of Focus (EDF) 
to produce an image covering the entire thickness of your specimen – EDF processes sharp images full of details out of several focal planes.
