Uses

  • This system is more sensitive than the prior 510/710 models, and adds atmosphere (CO2/O2) and temperature control. It is ideal for imaging live cells.
  • The system also has the Definite Focus feature, allowing the system to accommodate for focus drifting that may occur.
  • Airy scan - Resolution improvement is modest (about 1.7 fold) and 8 fold greater sensitivity.
  • Modules included - Physiology, FRET, FRAP, 3D, Tiling
