Airyscan2 LSM980 inverted confocal imaging system

LSM980 inverted confocal, Airyscan2 for fast super resolution, live cell imaging

For fast, super-resolution, live-cell imaging, we offer a fully automated Airyscan2 inverted confocal microscope. The Airyscan 2 allows for 3D super-resolution imaging and 8x speed boost (compared to confocal at Nyquist), as well as tiled imaging, z-stacks and multi-position time-lapse imaging of living cells.

Operation Guide
