Laser scanning confocal microscope Zeiss LSM 800

Description

Inverted microscope Zeiss Axio Observer.Z1 with confocal unit LSM 800 and incubation chamber for live imaging with controlled CO2 and temperature. Microscope is equipped with four solid state lasers, three GaAsP PMT detectors and one T-PMT detector for transmission light detection. Widefield imaging is possible using Hamamatsu ORCA-Flash 4.0LT digital sCMOS camera. Microscope is equipped with Definite Focus.2 to keep sample in focus during long time-lapse experiments.
