Optical microscopy, allows us to see and understand the microscopic world beyond our perception. Today, optical microscopy is at the heart of many scientific and technical fields, including life sciences, biology, materials science, nanotechnology, industrial inspection, medicine, and many more. CD BioSciences, the imaging experts, can provide you with optical microscopy imaging services based on Zeiss LSM 780 and Elyra PS.1.
1. Modalities:
1) Super-Resolution (structured Illumination (SIM) and Single Molecule Localization (PALM/STORM)
2) Point scanning confocal
3) Fluorescence Correlation Spectroscopy (FCS)
4) Fluorescence Recovery After Photobleaching (FRAP)
5) Fluorescence Resonance Energy Transfer (FRET)
6) Total Internal Reflectance Fluorescence (TIRF),
7) Reflected confocal
8) Widefield fluorescence
9) Multipoint acquisition
10) Stitched image microscopy
2. The 780 scan head is equipped with:
1) A standard PMT
2) A 32 channel spectral GaAsP detector and
3) A cooled GaAsP detector for increased sensitivity over long wavelengths.
4) A transmitted light PMT
3. Laser lines available:
1) Elyra (super-resolution) system:
405 nm (50mW)
488 nm (200mW)
561 nm (200mW)
633 nm (150MW)
2) 780 scan head (confocal):

633nm
4. Objective lenses:
10× / 0.3NA EC Plan Neofluor (wd = 5.20 mm)
20× / 0.8NA Plan Apochromat (wd = 0.550 mm)
40× / 1.4NA (oil) Plan-Apochromat (wd = 0.130 mm)

The Elyra PS.1 system allows for imaging beyond the diffraction limit of standard confocal microscopy. The PS.1 system utilizes either Structured Illumination Microscopy (SIM) to increase the resolving capabilities down to approximately 100 nm or Photo Activation Light Microscopy (PALM) to resolve down to 20 nm. TIRF optics, an integrated FCS analysis module and photon counting capabilities are also available with the system.
