===== Microscope overview ===== | ===== Microscope overview ===== | ||
- | The Zeiss Cell Observer is a fully motorized inverted //widefield fluorescence microscope// ideal for live-cell imaging applications. It is equipped with a large cage incubator and a small stage incubator for temperature control and CO2 supply and with Definite Focus for hardware focus control during long time-lapse acquisitions. Using the ZEN 2 software you can control the motorized filters, shutters and stage to simultaneously set up multi-color time-lapse imaging experiments in multiple stage positions. Its sensitive cooled Axiocam 506m camera allows you to capture weak fluorescent signals and minimize photobleaching/photodamage in light sensitive samples. You can also perform Z-stack acquisition and use our [[http://micro.magnet.fsu.edu/primer/digitalimaging/deconvolution/deconvolutionhome.html|deconvolution]] server [[brainstorm|Brainstorm]] to significantly improve image resolution even in thick samples. If don't want to use deconvolution, check out one of the confocal systems such as the point scanners [[zeiss_lsm_710|Zeiss LSM 710]] and [[zeiss_lsm_880|Zeiss LSM 880]] or spinning disks [[3i_marianas_sdc|3i Marianas SDC]] and [[zeiss_cell_observer_sd|Zeiss Cell Observer SD]]. If your personal computer cannot handle all the data you collected, check out the [[big_guy|Big Guy]] or [[colossus|Colossus]]. If you have FISH or other fixed fluorescence slides try the [[leica_dm5000b|Leica DM5000B]] instead. | + | {{ :widefield_lightpath.png?0x300}}The Zeiss Cell Observer is a fully motorized inverted //widefield fluorescence microscope// ideal for live-cell imaging with fast acquisition speeds. It is equipped with a large cage incubator and a stage top incubator for temperature control and CO2 supply and with Definite Focus for hardware focus control during long time-lapse acquisitions. Using the ZEN software you can control the motorized filters, shutters and stage to simultaneously set up multi-color time-lapse imaging experiments in multiple stage positions. The stage is furthermore equipped with a piezo for fast Z displacement. You can choose between a HXP metal halide lamp or fast-switching LEDs for illumination.
