This fully motorized inverted microscope is designed for fast, versatile imaging. It features a high-speed stage, two cameras, and a triggerable multichannel LED illumination system.
- High-speed widefield imaging
- Automated tiled imaging and image stitching for large-area acquisition.
- Epifluorescence, transmitted-light, and polarized-light imaging
- Monochrome and color cameras
- Computational clearing for “pseudo-confocal” imaging (Leica THUNDER)
- Live-cell imaging with temperature and gas control
