Macro and Micro Scale Imaging with the Same Microscope

A new concept combing the versatility of a stereo with the resolution of a compound microscope has been launched by Nikon Instruments. Called the AZ100 Multizoom, it offers the wide field of view and long working distance usually associated with macro imaging with the high degree of resolution that characterizes advanced research microscopes. Furthermore, moving from macro to micro can be achieved via continuous switching of the magnifications without the user having to glance away from the eyepieces. In effect, observers can move from scanning a whole section to zooming in on a single cell without ever having to look away. In biomedical sciences, the AZ100 Multizoom microscope supports applications for both mid-magnification and stereo microscopes, and is particularly well suited for cellular research, including; developmental biology, such as systems biology, the study of the interactions between the components of a biological system, and how these interactions give rise to the function and behaviour of that systems, regenerative medicine, embryology and the physiological studies of cells.
