M13 - Deltavision Core Deconvolution System
System Description

The M13 system is an inverted widefield microscope for brightfield and fluorescence. It is equipped with temperature, CO2 and humidity control, motorized xyz-stage as well as a CCD camera. All components are controlled by SoftWorx.
The system is fully programmable and therefore able to run multidimensional experiments including any combination of the following: multiple positions, multiple wavelengths, z-Stacks, time-lapse.
Due to the critical illumination set-up it is particularly suited for samples with small dots (FISH, kinetochores, centromeres etc...) surrounded by background fluorescence. Integrated deconvolution software improves image contrast.
