The Zeiss Celldiscoverer 7 is a fully integrated and motorized high-end inverted widefield fluorescence imaging system ideal for automated live-cell imaging in multi-well plates and Petri dishes. It offers a fully integrated incubation system with temperature and CO2 control and Definite Focus.3 for hardware focus control. The ZEN software can automatically calibrate the system and adapt if to your sample by recognizing different sample carriers, determining their bottom thickness and material and adjusting the objectives correction ring to compensate for spherical aberrations. You can use Petri dishes, chamber slides, multi-well plates, plastic or glass, thin or thick vessel bottoms, low-skirt or high-skirt plates. When using the 50x water immersion objective, automated immersion supply and removal is available for time lapse experiments over several days or extensive scanning processes on multi-well plates. The fluorescence excitation unit combines seven LEDs – from deep blue to far-red - for high-speed multi-channel imaging. Its sensitive cooled Axiocam 702 and 712 cameras allows you to capture weak fluorescent signals and minimize photobleaching/photodamage in light sensitive samples.
