  • It is an inverted microscope with a fully automated and motorized Super Resolution system equipped with highly sensitive Airy scan Detectors and Emission filters for the entire Visible Spectrum.
  • Consists of Multi alkali PMT detectors and 32-element Honeycomb GaAsP detectors
  • 405nm Diode laser, Multiline Argon laser (458 nm, 488nm,514nm), DPSS 561nm, HeNe 594 nm and HeNe 633nm lasers are available.
  • Objectives :10x, 20x, 40x oil, 63x oil, 100x oil are available.
  • Additionally, LSM 880 Airy Scan system also has a Fast Module: which gives improved speed in Super Resolution mode. A fast piezo focusing stage insert for fast z stack imaging with a travel range of 100 microns and Frame rate up to 19 fps or better @512X 512-pixel resolution with suitable laser beam shaper incorporated inside the LSM scan head.
  • The system works in Super Resolution mode, Virtual Pinhole mode for better sensitivity and Confocal Mode for normal imaging.
  • The lateral resolution of 140nm and Axial resolution of at least 350-400nm can be achieved.
  • The Zeiss LSM880 AiryScan Confocal microscope uses a 32-element Honeycomb GaAsP detector that provides 1.7 fold improved resolution as well as significantly improved signal-to-noise compared to conventional confocal detectors. The high sensitivity of the AiryScan detector makes it possible to detect even very weak fluorescent signals while using low levels of laser illumination.
