In Autumn 2016 a brand new Zeiss LSM880 Airyscan FAST microscope was installed in the Cruciform Building (Wolfson Institute for Biomedical Research).
This instrument has:
- six laser lines (405, 458, 488, 514, 561, 633nm)
- a range of objectives allowing fast imaging of low-level fluorescence in sections or slices (e.g. 25x/0.8NA PlanApo multi-immersion, 0.57mm working distance)
- GaAsP detectors allowing 96 frames/second image acquisition in FAST mode (512x512 pixels).
- includes Zeiss control and analysis software (ZEN) on the microscope and a free-standing workstation.
This state of the art instrument is available to trained users within and outside UCL on a pay-per-use basis.
Our services are provided to high specifications, with rapid access times, at competitive prices.
