General Information

High resolution confocal system for live and fixed cell imaging and photoactivation and photobleaching studies.

Key Features

IX-81 inverted microscope equipped with

• Diode laser (405 nm), multiline Argon-laser (458 nm, 488 nm and 514 nm lines) and two HeNe-lasers (543 nm and 633 nm).
• Four PMT detectors (three for fluorescence, one for brightfield), two fluorescence detectors with slit based emission filters and one with long-pass filters.
• Spectral imaging possibility
• DIC imaging possibility.
• UPLSAPO 60x oil (NA=1.35) and water (NA=1.2) immersion, UPLFLN 40x (NA=1.3) oil immersion, UPLSAPO 20x (NA=0.7) and UPlanFLN 10x (NA=0.3) objectives.
• Extra scanner and control unit (SIM scanner) which can be used simultaneously with the main scanner (photoactivation and –bleaching using 405 nm laser).
• Heatable stage for live cell work.
