Equipment
Zeiss LSM880 with Airyscan
The Zeiss LSM 880 has two multi-alkali photomultiplier tubes, a GaAsP detector and a transmitted light detector. The addition of the Airyscan provides another GaAsP that may be used when using the Airyscan capability or used as a fourth fluorescence detector in the confocal mode. The system has six laser lines (405 nm, 458 nm, 488 nm, 514 nm, 561 nm and 633 nm).
For live-cell imaging, the system has motorized z-drive, an environmental chamber and stage incubator for controlling temperature, humidity and CO2.
