LSM 980 NLO Multi-Photon Microscope
Multi-photon illumination has always appealed to biologists for imaging deep into living tissue. But did you ever imagine probing more than 5mm into your sample? Using the 980 NLO with our specialized SCA/E or CLARITY objectives, you can visualize deep into cleared tissue with incredible resolution. Even without clearing your samples, this microscope excels at penetrating deep into live or fixed specimens, and creating beautiful 3D datasets thanks to a tunable infra-red laser that can be used for multi-photon (2P, 3P) and second harmonic generation (SHG) imaging. A good choice for thick tissue sections, organoids, and organisms such as zebrafish.
