Microscope Name | Upright or Inverted? | Fluorescence Colours | Key Features | Techniques |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Axioplan | Upright | Blue, Green, Red, Far-Red |
| High sensitivity and high resolution fluorescence microscopy and differential interference contrast (DIC) of fixed specimens on slides |
Axio Imager | Upright | Blue, Green, Red, Far-Red. Cyan and Yellow available on request |
| High sensitivity and high resolution fluorescence microscopy and phase contrast of fixed specimens on slides |
Axioskop 3 | Upright | Blue, Green, Red |
| 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 | Blue, Green, Red |
| 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. Long distance lenses can see through the bottom of normal laboratory plasticware. | |
Leica 2 | Inverted | Blue, Cyan, Green, Red |
| Moderate to 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. Long distance lenses can see through the bottom of normal laboratory plasticware. Leica Modulation Contrast (LMC) lenses for brightfield contrast imaging that is less sensitive to the meniscus in well plates. Cyan filter cube for CFP. |
