Description: Inverted laser scanning swept field confocal (Opterra) microscope with an EMCCD QuantEM camera detector (512 by 512 pix., 16 bit). Confocality is achieved by scanning a sample with a linear array of either pinholes or stripes. The TIRF illumination module utilizes the same laser lines as the confocal module. The TIRF module uses a monochrome CoolSNAP ES CCD camera (1392 by 1040 pix., 12 bit). Motorized stage for multi-position and tile scans. The system is capable of live-cell imaging and is equipped with an autofocus (Perfect Focus) module. Imaging modes: multichannel snap, z-stack, time-lapse, DIC, PC, BF.
