===== Microscope overview ===== | ===== Microscope overview ===== | ||
- | GABY WORKING ON IT! | + | The “Zeiss Imager2 + Apotome2" is a fully automated upright microscope capable of |
+ | magnifications from 2.5x to 160x and equipped with two cameras: On the left port a 5MPx CMOS | ||
+ | color camera ([[https://www.zeiss.com/microscopy/en/products/cameras/axiocam-105-color.html|Axiocam 105 RGB]], for brightfield/DIC) and on the top port a high sensitivity 4Mpx | ||
+ | monochrome sCMOS camera ([[https://www.biomedical-instruments-trading.com/products/video-devices/568-hamamatsu-orca-flash-4-0-v2|Hamamatsu Flash 4.0v2]], for fluorescence). The system has a | ||
+ | Colibri7 excitation light source with 5 LEDs (see table below). The system’s stage, which can | ||
+ | accommodate 8 slides simultaneously, is motorized in XYZ, capable of z-stacks, multiple | ||
+ | positions or tile & stitching acquisition (thereby allowing acquisition of large fields of view with | ||
+ | several hundred megapixels!). | ||
+ | The Imager is also equipped with ApoTome.2, which allows optical sectioning of fluorescent | ||
+ | samples using structured illumination. A grid pattern is placed on the illumination path and is | ||
+ | projected and shifted sideways; 3 (or more) images are acquired and between each image the grid | ||
+ | is moved 1/3 of its cycle. This movement generates images where only the in-focus light is | ||
+ | modulated by the grid pattern while out-of-focus light is largely unaffected by the grid. By | ||
+ | subtracting pairs of these images, the system removes out-of-focus light and the grid pattern, thus | ||
+ | creating an optical section of the sample. | ||
