Laser scanning confocal microscope Zeiss LSM 780 with Airyscan detector

Description

Inverted microscope Zeiss Axio Observer.Z1 with laser scanning unit LSM 780. Microscope is equipped with three solid state lasers (405, 561 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. Microscope is also equipped with CCD camera AxioCam MRm.
