===== Microscope overview =====

{{  :confocal_pinhole.png?340}} The Zeiss LSM 980 with Airyscan 2 is a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rTkjQ6Q0p5I|point scanning confocal microscope]] is an inverted microscope equipped with a laser scanning head with a total of 6 PMT/GaAsp + 1 Airyscan detectors. The Airyscan can achieve non-diffraction limited optical sectioning with resolutions down to 140nm laterally and ~400nm axially. It also allows acquisition in “Multiplexing” mode(s), which accelerate the acquisition speed (4/8x faster) or in sensitivity mode that enhances the signal-to-noise acquisition.

The microscope is also equipped with a dark heating and atmospheric control chamber to allow live imaging of mammalian cells (O2 control is also possible, upon request). We have available an objective inverter for some intra-vital or open-dish applications (upon request only, requires preparation).
