Confocal Microscopy (5 systems)

LSM800 Airyscan (Tel.94 787)

Capabilities

  • Super Resolutive Confocal Laser Scanning Microscopy (CLSM)
  • 63x magnification equipped with the Airyscan module, thus improving the resolution by a factor 1.7 in all three directions
  • Can do larges images with the XY motorised stage
  • Imaging UV and VIS fluorophores
  • Ideal for fixed specimens (oil objectives)
  • 3D Z-stacks
  • Colocalization studies
