Biological Imaging Service—LSM 900 Confocal Microscope

Biological imaging is an important research tool for understanding tissue structure and elucidating the various physiological functions of living organisms. It uses light or electron microscopy to obtain direct images of the microstructure of biological cells and tissues, and the resulting images are analyzed to understand the various physiological processes of biological cells. CD BioSciences' Bioimaging Centre has dozens of devices and, more importantly, our expertise and experience are invaluable to the industries and clients we serve. We can provide LSM 900 Confocal Microscope-based bioimaging services.

Name of the Instrument/Platform

LSM 900 Confocal Microscope

Introduction

Objectives: 2.5×/0.085, 10×/0.45 air, 20×/0.8 air, 25×/0.8 water, glycerol and oil, 40×/1.2 water, 40×/1.4 oil

Commonly imaged dyes: DAPI, Alexa 488/GFP, Alexa 555/568/tdTomato, Alexa 647

Summary

The LSM 900 is optimal for confocal imaging with the four commonly used dyes. The entire system is fully motorized for autofocusing over large fields of view. It comes with an artificial intelligent (AI) Sample finder that enables the user to map their sample with flexibility to zone in on regions of interest. In addition to the confocal GaAsP detectors, the system has an Axiocam camera and an ESID for widefield fluorescence or transmitted light imaging.

In recent years, with the development of optical imaging technology, especially the introduction of digital imaging and computer image analysis, bioimaging has become an indispensable method in cell biology research. CD BioSciences' bioimaging laboratory is committed to providing state-of-the-art technical support to our customers. If you are interested, please do not hesitate to contact us.
