The Leica Thunder is an inverted computational-clearing microscope configured with nine illumination options and a wide range of emission lters. The system is enclosed with an incubation unit to regulate experimental temperature and air gas (5% CO2) for live cell imaging.
The objective turret houses six lenses including 2.5x Air, 5x Air, 10x Air, 20x Air, 40x Air, and 63x Oil. The stage is motorized for large tiled stitching or marking and storing positions.
