Spinning Disk


MicroLambda Spinning Disk (MLSD)

       Overview:

  • Sensitivity: ★★★☆☆
  • Speed: ★★★★★
  • Detection channels: One confocal scan per sequence, can use standard wide field halogen with confocal scanning
  • Recommendation: Use if your sample requires fast burst imaging or higher resolution than standard confocal microscopes can provide. This system only allows use of standard fluorophores.

       Features:

  • Lasers: 405, 491, 515, 561, 642nm
  • Fluorophores: DAPI, FITC/GFP, YFP, TRITC/mCherry/Cy3, Cy5
  • Super-Resolution Live SR module (Gataca System) of max resolution of 105nm (NEW!)
  • Multidimensional imaging (XYZT)
  • Automated Piezo Z Stage
  • Hardware Autofocus
  • 1.2k x 1.2k Photometrics Prime 95B sCMOS camera, with Prime enhance Module for image acquisition
  • Fast Live Imaging (max of 82 fps, 12bit)
  • Metamorph v7.10 software
  • Incubator for environmental Control
  • Other Imaging techniques: FRAP, FRET, Photostimulation and Super-resolution

Location: #02-26
