LSM 980 (Zeiss) Laser Scanning Confocal Microscope (LSM 980)

Profilová karta (PDF)

Description:

At the heart of the LSM 980 is a highly efficient beam path combined with the Airyscan detector, which captures more light and spatial information than traditional confocal systems. This allows users to achieve enhanced resolution and signal-to-noise ratio, even under low-light conditions—ideal for live-cell and deep tissue imaging. When configured with Multiphoton excitation, the system enables gentle, long-term imaging of thick samples.

Specification:

Designed for scientific versatility, the LSM 980 supports a wide range of imaging modalities and experiment types, including super-resolution, spectral imaging, and fast, simultaneous multi-channel acquisition. 

The ZEISS LSM 980 integrates: 

• Airyscan Super-Resolution Detector: Capture images with up to 1.7x improved resolution and enhanced signal-to-noise, even at low excitation power. 
• Spectral Detection System: Flexible channel separation and unmixing for complex multicolor experiments. 
• Fast Acquisition Modes: Including Multiplex modes for rapid, high-resolution time-lapse imaging. 
• Live-Cell Imaging: Compatible with environmental control chambers for long-term experiments with minimal phototoxicity. 
• Multiphoton Imaging: Deep imaging with infrared lasers for minimized photodamage and maximized tissue penetration. 
• Advanced Image Analysis Tools: ZEISS ZEN software provides robust tools for 3D rendering, segmentation, colocalization, and tracking—streamlining data analysis workflows.
