 Equipped with three objectives (1.1x, 4x and 12x) and internal magnifications of 0.6x, 1x, 1.66x and 2.5x, this system is capable of going from whole organs to single cell level. Equipped with three objectives (1.1x, 4x and 12x) and internal magnifications of 0.6x, 1x, 1.66x and 2.5x, this system is capable of going from whole organs to single cell level.
 There are 4 laser lines in the Blaze, 488, 561, 640 and 785 nm, and with the capability of combining these with any of the installed filters, the system is capable of mix-matching for markers such as Propidium Iodide. There are 4 laser lines in the Blaze, 488, 561, 640 and 785 nm, and with the capability of combining these with any of the installed filters, the system is capable of mix-matching for markers such as Propidium Iodide.

 +===== Usage conditions =====
 +
 +The **default configuration** for the UltraMicroscope Blaze is for the **Refractive Index of DBE** (iDisco protocol) at **RI = 1.56**. ​
 +Any use where another immersion media is necessary, the system will need realignment,​ and possibly undergo objective dipping-cap changes (below RI = 1.49). The **time taken to do these alignments** (DBE to immersion media, immersion media to DBE) can vary between 1-3 hours, and **will be charged to the user** in question.
