Nutzbar durch: HU | TU | FU | Charité

Imaging Modes

  • Spinning disk confocal (DAPI, CFP, GFP, YFP, mCherry, TxRED, Cy5)
  • SoRa-mode (Super Resolution by Optical Pixel Reassignment, 1.4x resolution improvement)
  • FRAP/ PA (photo activation/ conversion)
  • Widefield EPI fluorescence mode (DAPI, GFP, TxRED, TRITC-B, Cy5)
  • DIC for 10x, 40x, 60x, 100x objectives (upon request)
  • Live-cell incubator (temperature, CO2, humidity)

 Detectors

  • 2x Hamamatsu ORCA-Fusion digital sCMOS cameras (2304×2304 pixels, 100 fps @ 2304×2048 pixels, 80% QE, 6.5 µm pixel size)
  • Dual-camera system for simultaneous dual-color detection (e.g. GFP/RFP, RFP/SiR, GFP/SiR, upon request)

 Software

  • NIS-Elements AR (Advanced Research) including modules for:
  • JOBS (automation)
