For protein structural crystallography, proper identification of protein crystals or salt crystals before obtaining structures by crystal diffraction is an important part of protein crystallization screening, as it reduces protein usage, lowers costs, and increases efficiency. Therefore, protein crystallography imaging services are essential and CD BioSciences offers technical support for protein crystallography based on SteREO Discovery.V12.
The basic equipment of the stereomicroscope features relatively low total magnifications, wide object fields and large working distances between object and microscope front optics. The designation "V12" stands for a magnification of zoom optics variable by a factor of 12.5× and covering a magnification range from 0.8× to 10×. The pancratic magnification changer ensures high-contrast and focused images throughout the entire zoom range. Additionally, special preparation of specimens is not required for the stereomicroscope, which makes it suitable for the observation, manipulation and documentation of protein crystals.
The SteREO Discovery V.12 stereomicroscope is designed for 3D observation of small objects at simultaneous magnification. Besides visual observation, it provides diverse options of photomicrographic and video image documentation in connection with the fitted camera port.
CD BioSciences offers a SteREO Discovery.V12-based protein crystallography service that can be identified by direct observation with ordinary light or polarised light microscopy. If this is of interest to you, please contact us directly.
