Imaging Modes

• Transmitted light with oblique contrast for sample positioning and overview
• Reflected light and epifluorescence with laser for beam adjustment and fluorescence light sheet imaging
• ibidi stage top incubation system (temperature, CO₂, humidity) and integrated auto-immersion mechanism enable unattended long-term experiments
• Photo-manipulation: 405 and 473 nm and lasers for FRAP and photo-activation/photo-switch and 780 nm laser for ablation experiments

Acquisition

• Speed: Volume: 3 Vol/s @300 μm x 50 μm x 20 μm, plane: 400 frames/s @300 μm x 20 μm
• Penetration depth up to 80 - 200 μm

Illumination

• LED (white & red) for transmitted light
• Laser for reflected light & epi-fluorescence: 488 nm (2 mW), 561 nm (2 mW), 640 nm (1 mW)
