Optical Microscope Imaging Service—Zeiss LSM 980 & Airyscan2

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 980 & Airyscan2.

Name of the Instrument/Platform

Zeiss LSM 980 & Airyscan2

MANUFACTURER:
Zeiss

Introduction

The system incorporates the 34-channel Quasar detector common to other Zeiss LSMs in the facility, ideal for spectral unmixing. Moreover, the system features the Airyscan2 detector. This is an array of 32 single GaAsP detectors arranged as a rosette, which allows for super-resolution performance (down to 140 nm), but which can alternatively be used as a slit scanning confocal, increasing scanning speed by 8×.
Additionally, the system incorporates a Colibri7 LED light source and an Axiocam 705 mono camera for widefield imaging.

Applications

1. Optical z-sectioning of living specimens and fixed samples,
2. FRET/FRAP experiments,
3. 3D-super-resolution imaging,
4. Fast confocal imaging,
5. Photoactivation and photoconversion experiments,

Summary

The Zeiss LSM980 system incarnates the newest generation of laser scanning confocal microscopes. Mounted on an inverted microscope for full flexibility and compatibility with live cell imaging (boasting Definite Focus 2 for focal stabilization and cell incubation chamber), it is also amenable for standard fixed sample imaging.
