Instrument Snapshot
The Zeiss LSM 800 is a compact confocal laser scanning microscope for high-end confocal imaging. This model has increased image quality, higher image output, and allows for easy imaging of live cells.
This confocal microscope has been used for a wide range of scientific applications from live cell culture imaging to model organisms, such as C. elegans and zebra fish.
Low laser powers avoid photobleaching and phototoxicity in live cell imaging applications.
