Remarks / Special Instructions (if any):

Description : Bright field, Fluorescence and differential interface contrast (DIC) illumination with facility for confocal scan head attachment. The detection unit is a combination of 2 PMT & 3 GaAsP/HyD. The scan head should be able to perform fast dynamic live cell time lapse imaging with ROI capability with a high speed of 100-300 fps or better @512X32 resolution OR scan speed should be 7-10fps or better @512X512 resolution. Lasers: Pre aligned Solid State/ Gas State laser module with laser lines of Multi-line Ar laser with 458/488/514nm; DPSS 561 nm; HeNe 633 nm; Blue Diode Laser 405/408nm. Microsocpe is equipped with either peizo stage or bidirectional galvo stage for fastest possible Z sections, with travel range of at least 100 microns or better for fast imaging in Confocal and SR mode.
