Zeiss LSM780 – retired 2021

The Zeiss LSM780 laser scanning confocal microscope is a versatile system for all cell and tissue imaging experiments. The instrument has a CO2/humidity/temperature controlled incubator for live cell imaging. Available modules include FRAP, FRET, Multiple time-series and FCS. There is an extra sensitive spectral GaAsP detector for FCS and FCCS and a cooled PMT for more sensitive detection on red range. Also, anisotrophy measurements are possible.
