===== Microscope overview ===== {{ :widefield_lightpath.png?0x300}}The Zeiss Axiovert 200M is a fully motorized inverted //widefield fluorescence microscope// ideal for live-cell imaging applications. Using the Metamorph 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 CCD camera ([[https://labs.pbrc.edu/cellbiology/documents/CoolSNAPHQ.pdf|Photometrics CoolSNAP HQ CCD]]) allows you to capture weak fluorescent signals and minimize photobleaching/photodamage in light sensitive samples. It is also equipped with a color camera ([[https://www.leica-microsystems.com/products/microscope-cameras/p/leica-dfc450-c/|Leica DFC450]]) for acquisition of histological stains with tile and stitching imaging. * **Microscope**: Zeiss Axiovert 200 * **Monochrome Camera**: [[https://labs.pbrc.edu/cellbiology/documents/CoolSNAPHQ.pdf|Photometrics Coolsnap HQ CCD]] * **Color Camera**: [[https://www.leica-microsystems.com/products/microscope-cameras/p/leica-dfc450-c/|Leica DFC450]] {{:warning.png?25|}} Data files older than **1 month** will be automatically deleted on this system, please copy your data to the iMM server using the desktop link. ===== System components ===== ==== Filtersets ==== ^ Position ^ Filterset ^ Reference ^ Excitation ^ Dichroic ^ Emission ^ | 1 | Blue | [[https://www.micro-shop.zeiss.com/?s=163176628fcf844&l=en&p=us&f=f&a=v&b=f&id=488001-9901-000&o=|FS01]] | 359-371 nm | 395 nm | > 397 nm | | 2 | Green BP | [[https://www.micro-shop.zeiss.com/?s=163176628fcf844&l=en&p=us&f=f&a=v&b=f&id=488010-9901-000&o=|FS10]] | 450-490 nm | 510 nm | 515-565 nm | | 3 | Red | [[https://www.micro-shop.zeiss.com/?s=163176628fcf844&l=en&p=us&f=f&a=v&b=f&id=488020-9901-000&o=|FS20]] | 540-552 nm | 560 nm | 575-640 nm | | 4 | Far Red | [[http://www.semrock.com/SetDetails.aspx?id=2983|Cy5-4040C-000]] | 608-648 nm | 660 nm | 672-712 nm | | 5 | A | none |||| **Upon request:** ^ Position ^ Filterset ^ Reference ^ Excitation ^ Dichroic ^ Emission ^ | 2 | Green LP | [[https://www.micro-shop.zeiss.com/?s=163176628fcf844&l=en&p=us&f=f&a=v&b=f&id=488009-9901-000&o=|FS09]] | 450-490 nm | 510 nm | > 515 nm | ==== Objectives ==== ^ Magnification ^ Model ^ Immersion ^ NA ^ WD (mm) ^ pixel size* (μm) ^ 10 μm = ^ (color) 10 μm = ^ Reference ^ | 10x | EC Plan-Neofluar | Air | 0.30 | 5.20 | 1.00 | 10 pixels | 23.3 pixels | [[https://www.micro-shop.zeiss.com/en/de/shop/objectives/420340-9900-000/Objective-EC-Plan-Neofluar-10x-0.30-M27|420340-9900-000]] | | 20x | EC Plan-Neofluar | Air | 0.50 | 2.00 | 0.48 | 21 pixels | 46.7 pixels | [[https://www.micro-shop.zeiss.com/en/de/shop/objectives/440340-9904-000/Objective-EC-Plan-Neofluar-20x-0.5|440340-9904-000]] | | 40x | EC Plan-NeoFluar | Air | 0.75 | 0.71 | 0.24 | 41 pixels | 93.7 pixels | [[https://www.micro-shop.zeiss.com/en/de/shop/objectives/440350-9903-000/Objective-EC-Plan-Neofluar-40x-0.75|440350-9903-000]] | | 63x | Plan-Apochromat DIC | Oil | 1.40 | 0.19 | 0.15 | 65 pixels | -
