Location: SRC 105C

Description: Combine the excellent image quality of the confocal LSM 900 with the new Multiplex mode for Airyscan 2 to get more information in shorter times. The speed and gentleness of the sensitive Airyscan area detector complement this compact point scanning confocal and allow you to image your most demanding samples with a 4-8  times more signal-noise ratio.

• The LSM 900 has 3 PMTs: 2 Alkali detectors, 1 GaAsP detector

• Four different lasers: 405, 488, 561, 640 nm

• Objectives: 2.5X,10x, 20x, 40X (oil), 63X (oil),

• With the A1, you can do the following:

• Z stack

• Large image/tiling

• Movies

• Sample positions

• Spectral imaging

• Linear unmixing

• Transmission channel highly sensitive photomultiplier for detection of transmission signal like DIC (40X and 63X). or fluorescence detection

• Airyscan 2 multiplex for fast and high-resolution

• Live cell incubator (heat, humidity, and CO2 controlled)

• One monochrom CCD camera (Axiocam 503)

• Operates on the Zen lite software for image processing

• You can follow this link to upload the free Zen Lite program to review your CZI images on your computer.
