Microscope Name | Upright or Inverted? | Objective Lenses | Fluorescence Colours | Techniques |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Axioplan | Upright for slides | Up to 100x oil | Blue, Green, Red, Far-Red | Zeiss Axioplan 2 microscope with QImaging QClick camera for high sensitivity and high resolution fluorescence microscopy and differential interference contrast (DIC) of fixed specimens on slides |
Axio Imager | Upright for slides | Up to 100x oil | Blue, Green, Red, Far-Red (Cyan and Yellow available on request) | Zeiss Axio Imager A1 microscope with QImaging Retiga EXi for high sensitivity and high resolution fluorescence microscopy and phase contrast of fixed specimens on slides |
Axioskop 3 | Upright for slides | Up to 100x oil | Blue, Green, Red | Zeiss Axioskop microscope with QImaging QICAM colour camera for moderate to high resolution fluorescence microscopy and imaging of histologically or histochemically stained specimens on slides. Motorised stage supports tiling and stitching of specimens. |
Inverted for TC dishes | Long distance air lenses up to 40x | Blue, Green, Red | Leica DMIRB microscope with Hamamatsu Orca NRB camera. Good for moderate resolution fluorescence microscopy and phase contrast of fixed/live specimens on slides or in dishes and plates with glass or plastic bottoms | |
Leica 2 | Inverted for TC dishes | Long distance air lenses up to 40x | Blue, Green, Red | Leica DMIRB microscope with Leica DFC7000T colour camera for high resolution fluorescence microscopy and colour imaging of histologically or histochemically stained specimens on slides or in dishes and plates with glass or plastic bottoms |
Confocal
Use a confocal if your specimen in thick, has significant out-of-focus blur, or if you need to process, analyse or visualise it in 3D.
