- Confocal imaging via improved Nipkow-Disk with microlenses (Yokogawa; tunable speed 1 500 - 5 000 rpm); fixed 4-band dichroic 405 nm + 488 nm + 561 nm + 640 nm and fast filter wheel for emissions at 450/50, 525/50, 605/70 and 690/50 nm.
- Laser rack with solid state lasers controlled by AOTF: 405 nm, 488 nm, 561 nm, 638 nm.
- Apo-chromatic corrected epifluorescence with fiber-coupled illumination including integrated high speed shutter (TTL-controllable).
- Filtersets for BFP, eGFP, DsRed2 and DRAQ5 detection in epifluorescence mode.
- LED-based illumination for transmitted light.
- Plan Neofluar non-immersion optics: 10x [PH] working distance (wd): 5.2 mm, 20x [PH] wd: 7,4-8,4 mm, 40x wd: 2,5-3,3 mm. High resolution Plan Apochromat 20x [DIC] with N.A. 0,8, 40x [DIC] immersion lens with N.A. 1,4 and 63x [DIC] life cell imaging immersion lens with insulation ring for optimized temperature at the specimen.
- CCD camera (monochrome) with resolution of at least 1 388x 1 040 pixel at a size of 6,45 microns x 6,45 microns and available binning. Image acquisition speed up to 14 fps at full frame, 50 fps at 5x binning. Software integrated TTL out.
- Automated fast focus correction via coverslip detection.
- Motorized z-focus drive with minimum resolution of 10 nm. Additional fast Piezo stage focus with minimum 150 µm z-range and 5mm/sec z-travel speed.
- XY stage with minimum travel range 110 x 90 mm, 0,1 µm resolution with 7 mm/sec travel. Specimen holders for slides, petri dishes and microtiter plates.
- Stage-attached CO2 incubator for live cell imaging compatible with Petri dishes & multiwell plates etc. Big temperature incubator covering major parts of the microscope stand. Temperature and atmosphere completely software controlled during time series with continuous reporting.
- Online display screen with microscope control for vibration free control of z-focus, automated focus correction and other motorized functions. Contrast manager for fast switching between DIC, phase contrast and fluorescence.
- Air damped anti-vibration table.
- Option for a dual camera upgrade for spinning disk-detection at full-frame, fully compatible to the quoted system e.g. incubation, table, software.
- Imaging Workstation and Software
