Lightsheet Microscope

Instrument types
Make / Model : 
Zeiss Z.1

This lightsheet microscope is fully equipped and can be used for fast imaging of samples with a lot of 3-dimensional depth. Most commonly used for imaging embryo development, and other multicellular organisms live or fixed. Excellent environmental chamber controls for temperature, immersion media, and CO2. Instead of imaging on a slide, the sample is embedded in a column of agarose.

There are 6 laser excitation lines (405, 445, 488, 515, 561, and 638 nm). Dual 1900x1900 pixel cooled scientific CMOS cameras for two-color simultaneous imaging. Dual filter sets for DAPI-GFP, CFP-YFP, GFP-mCherry, GFP-DRAQ5, or CY3-DRAQ5. The three objectives are a 40x/1.0, 20x/1.0, and 5x/0.16.
