3Brief DescriptionAxio Zoom.V16 is a stereo microscope that successfully combines a large field of view,zoom, and working distance. Axio Zoom.V16 combines a 1x zoom with a numericalaperture of NA 0.25. It achieves a considerable numerical aperture for a medium zoomrange: superior fluorescence brightness in large object fields.Axio Zoom.V16 is the fluorescence zoom microscope fully automated for large fieldvisualization having a motorized zoom from 0.7x to 11.2x, motorized Z focus and easy-to-use system control panel.ReferenceZeiss Axio Zoom.V16LocationRoom 5.25 (Microscopy Cluster), 5º floor, Instituto de Tecnologia Química e BiológicaAntónio Xavier (ITQB NOVA)Suggestion for “Materials and Methods”Images were acquired on a Zeiss Axio Zoom.V16 stereo microscope equipped with aZeiss Axiocam 503 mono CCD camera and controlled with the Zeiss Zen 2.1 (blue edition)software, using the 1x 0.25 NA objective, the fluorescence filter sets GFP + mRFP andthe Bright Field optics.
