LSM 510 Meta – confocal laser scanning microscope


System Description
The LSM 510 Meta is a confocal laser scanning microscope from Zeiss on an inverted Axiovert 200M stand. All components are controlled by the ZEN 2009 software. It is able to run multidimensional experiments including multichannel acquisition, z-stacks, and time-lapse. Since it is an inverted microscope, it is suitable for imaging both live cells and fixed samples. It is equipped with eight laser lines and four laser detectors for detecting both fluorescence signals and transmitted light DIC.
