This inverted microscope is suitable for live cell imaging in 3 and 4D, bleaching (FRAP), photo activation techniques and spectral analyses. It is equipped with solid state laser lines of 405 nm, 488 nm, 561 nm and 633 nm. The instrument has three highly sensitive GaAsP detectors of which one is an Airyscan detector. With the Airyscan techniqe you gain 1.7× higher resolution in all three dimensions. Standard equipment for ocular observation of reflected light is present as well as a heating stage and an incubator for controlled temperature and CO₂-concentration.

The following lenses are available:

EC plan-Neofluar 10x/0.3

Plan-Apo 20x/0.8

LD LCI Plan-Apo 25x/0.8 Imm Corr DIC

Plan-Apo 63x/1.40 Oil DIC

C-Apo 63x/1.20 W Corr

The system is controlled by the ZEN blue 2.1 software.

For image processing a separate workstation with ZEN software is available.
