• Extremely fine structures like diatoms in darkfield in biology
  
• Examination and analysis of germs and bacteria in field work
  

All the functions and operation can be quickly learned. The ergonomic adjustment of the viewing height, country-specific plugs and option of use in the field have been designed for international usage. Primo Star is suitable for education and routine work in all areas of microscopy, in all corners of the globe.

Starting from useful magnification through to a perfectly adjusted microscope according to Koehler – Primo Star makes learning how to use a microscope as simple as can be. Thanks to its easy operation and robustness, Primo Star is particularly suitable for use in schools.

Even sophisticated work flows like those at schools for cytology assistants can be quickly explained and learned with Primo Star. Special packages are also available for training facilities at higher education institutions for medical occupations and at medical and biological university faculties.
