 The AX70-Macro is an advanced research system microscope whose wide field of view
(F.N. 26.5) and use of a 0.5✕ objective allow observation of specimens up to 53mm in
diameter. Capable of brightfield macro and micro observations, it is suitable for a wide
range of applications. It can even record and observe large specimens such as
complete brain slices and small animals.
