LSM 710 - Confocal Scanning Microscope

LSM710 is equipped with a Zeiss Axiovert inverted microscope and 5x, 10x (water), 20x, 40x (water), 63x (water) objectives. The system includes 4 lasers: a 25mW 405 nm diode laser, a 25 mW multi-line Argon laser (458, 488, and 514 nm), a 20 mW 561 nm DPSS laser, and a 5mW 633 nm HeNe laser.

The scanhead is attached to a Zeiss Axio Observer Z1 inverted microscope with motorized, programmable x,y,z stage, joystick and touch panel docking control station. This system has software, called "ZEN", that can control the microscope, scanning, laser module, tools and the image acquisition and processing.

Spinning Disk Confocal Microscope

From left to right we have: rack with control modules, a box that contains four lasers, the Hamamatsu camera, the Yokogawa confocal scanner and the Zeiss Axiovert 200M optical microscope.

The Yokogawa confocal scanner, the Zeiss Axiovert 200M optical microscope, and it's controlling computer.

Confocal system: on the top left is the laser box. From left to right are the Hamamatsu electron multiplier CCD camera, the optical filter changer, and the Yokogawa CSU 10.

The CSU10 device contains a dual Nipkow disk scanner and transports the laser light to the Ziess microscope. It also transports the emitted fluorescent light from the sample to the camera. The black box on the left is an emission filter wheel.
