Remarks / Special Instructions (if any):

Description : This microscope is a tool for advanced imaging applications, offering high-resolution, multicolor, and live-cell imaging capabilities. This imaging system combines confocal microscopy with Stimulated Emission Depletion (STED) super- resolution capabilities with sub-30 nm resolution, having Tunable excitation (440–790 nm). STED microscopy can achieve a lateral resolution of ~30–50 nm and axial resolution of ~120–150 nm. Some unique features are Power HyD detectors with high photon detection efficiency (HyD S & HyD X), real-time analysis of molecular dynamics by Fluorescence Correlation Spectroscopy (FCS) and TauSense. It also has FAst Lifetime CONtrast (FALCON), a FLIM solution for fast acquisition which combines STED with fluorescence lifetime imaging (FLIM) to separate fluorophores based on their lifetimes. LIGHTNING Provides enhanced resolution and contrast in real- time imaging, capturing fine structural details. Objectives: 10x-100x and a special 93x STED objective. Lasers
