As part of the CDT-CARD project, a Zeiss Axio Observer 7 LSM 980 confocal microscope with high resolution detector was purchased in April 2023.

Highlights:

Dedicated objectives for confocal or super-resolution imaging:

EC Plan-NEOFLUAR 2.5x/0.085 semiplanapochromat

Plan-Apochromat 10x/0.45 planapochromat

Plan-Apochromat 20x/0.80 planapochromat

Plan-Apochromat 40x/1.30 planapochromat, oil immersion

C Plan-Apochromat 63x /1.40 planapochromat, oil immersion

C-Apochromat 40x /1.20 planapochromat, water immersion, 0.13 – 0.20 mm slide thickness correction

Fluorescence filters for DAPI, FITC, TRITC, CY5 with transmission of 95%

LED fluorescence illuminator with intensity control, excitation diodes 630 nm, 555 nm, 475 nm, 385 nm

CONFOCAL IMAGING SYSTEM, LSM980 HEAD
