M01 - Spinning Disk Confocal Axio Observer (inverted)

The M01 system is an inverted microscope equipped with a Yokogawa CSU X1 spinning disc (SD) allowing fast confocal acquisition. All components are controlled by the ZEN blue software.
The system is able to run multidimensional experiments including any combination of the following: multiple positions, multiple wavelengths including brightfield (DIC), z-Stacks, time-lapse. There is also a ZEISS Definite Focus 2 hardware autofocus system for long-term stabilization.
This makes it suitable e.g. for various live experiments (caution: the system does not have an incubator) or the automatic acquisition of a large amount of images (screening).
