Nikon Spinning Disk Confocal Microscope (inverted)

The Nikon spinning disk confocal microscope is suitable for imaging of dynamic processes in living cells and fast acquisition of stacks in fixed preparations. The spinning disk ensures the sample is illuminated and light detected at multiple points simultaneously.The system is equipped with 6 lasers. Two sCMOS cameras allow imaging of both confocal and widefield applications. The microscope has an environmental chamber for live imaging and the piezo stage maintains focus throughout time lapse acquisitions.
