Nikon Automated Widefield Microscope

Location: HCI Room 1430

Main features of System:

  • Widefield light pathway employs a high sensitivity Andor Zyla CMOS camera
  • Sola automated LED lightsource for both widefield fluorescence and transmitted illumination pathways
  • Fully automated Nikon Ti-E inverted microscope
  • Perfect Focus System provides focal depth consistency across varying sample regions of interest
  • Motorized Prior II XY stage with a variety of stage inserts available (slides,dishes, multiwall plates, etc..)
  • Nikon NIS-Elements multi-platform acquisition software capable of Tiling, timelapse, scripting, analysis and advanced image processing.
  • Stage Incubator: OKOLAB, C02 and Humidity with either dish or plate adaptor

Suggested Applications:
