Detailed Description
The equipment has incubation capabilities, so can be used with live samples (note that due to licensing limitations, this equipment cannot be used for imaging living organisms). There are five laser lines available with this instrument (405nm, 488nm, 514nm, 561nm and 638nm) and the equipment is suitable for imaging whole samples up to approx 200μm thick. The Lightsheet comes with three detection objectives (5x, 10x and 20x) along with a zoom facility which allows between 0.3x and 2.5x magnification. As a result the equipment can achieve magnifications between 1.5x and 50x.
