LSM 880- Upright confocal with MP laser

Description

The LSM 880 laser scanning confocal microscope from Zeiss is a spectral imaging confocal system. It is hooked to an upright fully motorized Axio Imager Z1 microscope.

Controller: Two-mirror scanner system offers 360° XY scanning field rotation, quick zooming, different acquisition modes: simultaneous, sequential, bi-directional and more.

Detection: Three individual fluorescent channels: two PMT detectors and one GaAsp detector for spectral imaging. A variety of available emission filters offers imaging of wide fluorochromes from the UV to the IR spectral region and one transmitted light channel allowing superimposing fluorescence images on bright filed, DIC images.
