Zeiss LSM880
Modalities: invert, confocal, live cell, airyscan
Overview
The Zeiss LSM 880 with Airyscan Fast is a confocal laser scanning microscope able to generate three-dimensional images of large specimens at super-resolution.
The system consists of an inverted microscope suitable for live cell imaging as well as fixed samples.
The Airyscan system incorporates a novel spatial detector, the ‘Airyscan detector’, that increases spatial resolution 1.7x in each dimension (140 nm lateral and 400 nm axial resolution) or have the capabilities to achieve four times faster temporal super-resolution imaging and requires 8x lower laser power while increasing the sensitivity, especially suited for dynamic life cell imaging. Due to the full environmental camber to control temperature and CO2, this microscope is perfect for life cell imaging as well as temperature sensitive studies.
