The Spinning Disk Confocal Microscope is an Axio Observer fully motorized inverted microscope for transmitted light and epifluorescence. It is equipped with a temperature and CO2 stage incubator, making it ideal for live imaging experiments.
Applications:
Axio Observer microscopes can be used for bright field, phase contrast, differential interference contrast, VAREL contrast and PlasDIC contrast transmitted light techniques and epifluorescence.
The typical fields of application include: examination of human blood and tissue samples, observation of intracellular processes in living cell cultures, cell/cell interactions, motility, growth, measurement of potentials, drug detection, microinjection, IVF (in-vitro fertilization), toxicity studies, patch-clamp techniques, ion measurements, digital recordings, time lapse studies with automated processes, z-sectioning, deconvolution, visualization of molecular structures, Fura (Ca measurement), GFP, optical tweezers and scissors, single molecule detection, total internal reflection fluorescence (TIRF).
