Laser scanning confocal microscope Zeiss LSM 880 with AiryscanFast module
Description
Inverted microscope Zeiss Axio Observer.7 with laser scanning unit LSM 880 and incubation chamber for live imaging with controlled CO2 and temperature. Microscope is equipped with four solid state lasers (405, 561, 594 and 633 nm), argon laser (458, 488 and 514 nm), two multialkali PMT detectors, 32 channel spectral GaAsP detector, Airyscan detector and T-PMT for transmitted light detection. The Airyscan detector allows acquisition with increased resolution and signal to noise ratio compared to normal confocal scanning. In fast mode the detector is capable of 4x faster acquisition compare to standard mode. For fast and precise Z-movement there is a piezo Z stage insert - available on demand.
