Göttingen/Germany, 23.03.2011.
For the efficient and rapid detection of tuberculosis bacteria the World Health Organization WHO now recommends LED-fluorescence microscopy.

With Primo Star iLED Carl Zeiss developed, in cooperation with FIND (Foundation for Innovative New Diagnostics), a microscope aligned fort his application. Optimal image contrast and ease of use allow a reliable and rapid diagnosis. The economical and robust LED illumination can be switched to battery power in field laboratories and hospitals. This microscope is available in 22 countries with a particularly high rate of tuberculosis infections at a preferential price.
