Confocal laser scanning microscope

  • Confocal imaging with up to 10 fps
  • Objectives: 10x, 20x / 63x water, 40x / 100x oil imm., 40x / 63x water dipping
  • Spectrometric imaging with four freely selectable emission ranges and settings for any fluorochrome 
  • line and frame sequential scanning 
  • Two-photon excitation with internal  or non-descanned detectors
