LSM 880

The LSM 880 is the newest confocal microscope from Zeiss in 2015.

This instrument is in MR4 room 5136.

Features

• 32 channel GaAsP detector array, which is best suited for spectral and multi-label imaging, especially for fluorophores with spectral overlap.
• The cooled scanners provide scan speed of 13fps at 512x 512
• 405, 458, 488, 514, 543, 561, 594, 633nm laser lines
• Completely cooled Quasar Detector (ie: the Spectral GaAsP array) with supreme sensitivity
• Definite focus designed to eliminate Z drift
• Environmental chamber and heating stage for live cell imaging
• Improved electronics give faster data handling

Capabilities

• Simultaneous imaging and spectral separation up to 10 different dyes,
• creation of high resolution 3D images over large tiled areas, or imaging of single molecules through fluorescence correlation techniques.
