Primo Star iLED is the result of a joint project between the Foundation for Innovative Diagnostics (FIND) and Carl Zeiss. Through the targeted promotion of diagnostic innovations, the Swiss foundation FIND has set itself the objective of combating the spread of dangerous infectious diseases. At Carl Zeiss, the battle against these diseases has a tradition dating back to Robert Koch’s groundbreaking discovery. To this day, the company continues to set the standard with commitment and expertise in the struggle against deadly infectious diseases. Its efforts   in this area have enabled Carl Zeiss to come up with the LED-based fluorescence microscope Primo Star iLED, developed specifically for tuberculosis testing and based on the powerful routine microscope Primo Star. The success of this collaboration between FIND and Carl Zeiss is plain to see: Primo Star iLED will be offered at a particularly favorable price to public health services customers in the 22 high burden countries as defined by the WHO.
