16. AMBIO Nikon TIRF/STORM
Description
Imaging modes
- Widefield EPI fluorescence (DAPI, GFP, mCherry, Cy5)
- Phase (10x, 20x)
- DIC (20x, 40x, 100x)
- TIRF (adhesive cell membrane), motorized TIRF angle
- dSTORM (super-resolution, single molecule localization)
- FRAP/ PA (photo activation/ conversion)
- Live-cell incubator (temperature, CO2, humidity)
Lasers (max. intensities out of 100x objective)
