A Zeiss LSM 800 confocal microscope was installed in BIRU last week. The system has an inverted microscope stand, Marzhauser motorised XY stage, 4 objective lenses and a Colibri 7 LED light engine (for direct observation). There are 4 lasers available  for excitation (405nm, 488nm, 561nm, 640nm). The machine has 2 GaAsP-PMT detectors and an Airyscan module that provides up to 1.7x improvement in resolution. A seminar will be held on Monday 9 September from 2-3pm to highlight the features of the system. Contact Jacqui Ross if you are interested in using the system.

See more information about the system.
