LSM 900 Bio
This LSM 900 comes fully loaded for all of your bioengineering needs. A Hamamatsu Flash 4.0 camera allows for fast, sensitive widefield fluorescence imaging. The confocal scan head can perform standard multicolor confocal imaging, spectral imaging and create patternned excitation for FRAP/optogenetics experiments. Additionally, an Airyscan 2.0 detector is availible to improve resolution beyond the difration barrier and increase confocal sensitivity. The entire system is fully motorized allowing for autofocusing over large fields of view. Incubation and environmental control will keep your samples happy for the duration of the experiment.

LSM 900 Materials
This LSM 900 is configured to be a materials workhorse. It comes equiped with black and white and color cameras that can image a wide range of widefield contrasts: DIC, phase contrast, polarization, reflected light and fluorecence. The confocal scan head can image in fluorescence or relected light mode.
