The Zeiss Axiovert 200M is a fully motorized inverted widefield fluorescence microscope ideal for live-cell imaging applications. It is equipped with a small stage incubator for temperature control and CO2 supply. 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 (Roper Scientific Coolsnap HQ CCD) allows you to capture weak fluorescent signals and minimize photobleaching/photodamage in light sensitive samples. You can also perform Z-stack acquisition and use our deconvolution server Brainstorm to significantly improve image resolution even in thick samples. If you are performing long time-lapse experiments in live samples (aqueous media) and need hardware focus control, check the Zeiss Cell Observer WF with Definite Focus. If don't want to use deconvolution, check out one of the confocal systems such as the Zeiss LSM 710, Zeiss LSM 880 or the 3i Marianas SDC spinning disk. If your personal computer cannot handle all the data you collected, check out the Big Guy or Colossus. If you have FISH or other fixed fluorescence slides try the Leica DM5000B instead.
