 +{{  :​confocal_pinhole.png?​340}} The Zeiss LSM 900 with Airyscan 2 is a [[https://​www.youtube.com/​watch?​v=rTkjQ6Q0p5I|point scanning confocal microscope]] able to generate high-resolution three-dimensional images of thick specimens with high sensitivity,​ high speed and low photodamage. It is an inverted microscope especially suitable for live cell imaging and photobleaching experiments,​ equipped with a dark large cage incubator and a stage top incubator for temperature control and CO2 supply and with Definite Focus.3 for hardware focus control during long time-lapse acquisitions. The stage is motorized and furthermore equipped with a piezo for Z displacement so fast 4D imaging is possible in multiple stage positions, using the Tiles Advanced Setup of ZEN blue. Its Airyscan 2 with 32 concentrically arranged GaAsP detection elements is able to collect all light from an Airy pattern simultaneously,​ allowing for increased resolution (120 nm laterally and 350 nm axially in SR mode, at 488 nm). It can also be used in [[https://​www.youtube.com/​watch?​v=tUiEa7vcggQ|Multiplex Mode]], which enables parallel excitation and detection in 4Y modes. The result is a speed improvement by a factor of 4x, while maintaining the sensitivity of Airyscan. Its scanning unit further includes two PMT detectors as well as a GaAsP detector for increased sensitivity (45% QE compared to ~25% QE for conventional PMT). It is equipped with lasers from violet to far red (405, 488, 561 and 639 nm excitation wavelengths). The [[https://​www.zeiss.com/​microscopy/​en/​about-us/​newsroom/​press-releases/​2021/​zeiss-lsm-plus-and-zeiss-airyscan-joint-deconvolution.html|LSM Plus deconvolution]] mode enhances signal-to-noise ratio by acting as a denoising step post image acquisition,​ allowing for high acquisition speed and low laser power. With [[https://​www.zeiss.com/​microscopy/​en/​about-us/​newsroom/​press-releases/​2021/​zeiss-lsm-plus-and-zeiss-airyscan-joint-deconvolution.html|Airyscan Joint Deconvolution (jDCV)]] the resolution can be improved to 90 nm (XY) and 270 nm (Z).
