Description

Confocal microscope designed for viewing 'large' specimens. The maximum field of view is 484mm2, it is possible to combine images. The microscope is equipped with four diode lasers (405, 488, 561, 635nm) for confocal operation, a white light source (EPI) and a UV light source. While working in the confocal mode, the image is recorded by a single spectral detector with a working range of 430-750nm and spectral resolution of 5nm. In the operating mode of the stereomicroscope, the image can be viewed directly by the operator or using a monochrome CCD camera. The microscope is equipped with filters for excitation of classic dyes or fluorophores (DAPI, GFP, FM-54). Available micro-lenses: 10x / 0.30, 40x / 1.15 oil immersion and 64x / 1.30 oil immersion. The system is equipped with an in vivo observation chamber, which enables long-term observations of fluorescence in living cells. http://www.leica-microsystems.com/products/confocal-microscopes/details…
