M23 - LSM700 Axio Imager (upright)
System Description
The M23 system is an upright point laser scanning confocal microscope (LSM700). It is a complete spectral system allowing the free choice of detection and the acquisition of lambda-stacks as well as subsequent unmixing for the separation of dyes with overlapping emission spectra. This system can be used to acquire 2 different fluorophores simultaneously. A variable secondary dichroic (VSD) allows the precise splitting of the emmitted wavelenghts into 2 channels.
