-===== System ​overview ===== +===== Microscope ​overview =====
-The 3i Marianas SDC //spinning disk confocal microscope//​ is a fast imaging system which provides a trade-off between confocality,​ resolution and speed. It is an inverted microscope ideal for live cell applications which require fast acquisition speeds rather than high resolution images. The scanning unit achieves confocality by directing light through a [[http://​zeiss-campus.magnet.fsu.edu/​tutorials/​spinningdisk/​yokogawa/​yokogawatutorialfigure1.jpg|spinning disk with many small pinholes]]. Images are then acquired with a sensitive EMCCD which allows for very small exposure times but is limited in resolution to 512x512 pixels. The stage is motorized and furthermore equipped with a piezo for Z displacement so fast 4D imaging is possible in multiple stage positions. The system is also equipped with a large size incubator for temperature control and a small stage incubator for CO2 supply. With this system you can perform optical sectioning of fluorescent samples which are too thick for a widefield system such as the [[zeiss_cell_observer_wf|Zeiss Cell Observer WF]]. Even though its resolution is not as high as a //​point-scanning confocal system// such as the [[zeiss_lsm_880|Zeiss LSM 880]] or [[zeiss_lsm_710|Zeiss LSM 710]], it is much faster than these two systems. If you need to use an upright microscope, check the [[zeiss_lsm_7_live|Zeiss LSM 7 Live]] fast confocal system instead. If your personal computer cannot handle all the data you collected, check out the [[big_guy|Big Guy]] or [[colossus|Colossus]]. ​+
  
-  * **Microscope**[[http://​www.zeiss.com/microscopy/en_de/products/light-microscopes/​axio-observer-for-biology.html|Zeiss ​Axio Observer]] +{{  ​:lsm7live_lighpath.jpg?​0x320|}} The Zeiss LSM 7 Live //confocal line-scanning microscope// is a fast imaging system able to analyze high-speed processes with a time resolution of just a few microseconds. It is an upright microscope equipped with water dipping objectives specially suited for live samples in aqueous media. The scanning unit uses a laser beam with a rectangular cross-section to illuminate a whole line in the sample, instead of a single point. This makes image acquisition by its array CCD detectors faster than conventional PMT light detection but it also lowers the Z-resolution due to the usage of slits instead of conventional pinholes. Note that the system is equipped with two lasers (488 and 561 nm) but dual color imaging is not advised since there are no bandpass filters in the system (channel crosstalk is likely to occur). A UV laser controlled by galvanometric mirrors is available ​for precise ablation in user-defined regions of interestThe spatial resolution of this system is not as high as a //​point-scanning confocal system// such as the [[zeiss_lsm_880|Zeiss ​LSM 880]] or [[zeiss_lsm_710|Zeiss LSM 710]] but it is much faster than these two systems, achieving scanning speeds which may be even higher than the [[3i_marianas_sdc|3i Marianas SDC]] spinning disk if the acquisition is performed only in a few linesIf your personal computer cannot handle all the data you collected, check out the [[big_guy|Big Guy]] or [[colossus|Colossus]].
