Technical data for SD3

SD3
SD3 - Quorum WaveFX-X1 spinning disk on Leica DMI6000B
Microscope: Quorum WaveFX-X1 spinning disk confocal system, on a Leica DMI6000B inverted microscope, fully motorized, with an ASI MS-2000 piezo stage, and two Photometrics PRIME BSI CMOS cameras; Live Cell Instruments Chamlide TC environmental control system

Equipped for photo-stimulation (laser ablation, FRAP/FLIP, optogenetics): Micropoint Target Illumination System and Mosaic Digital Diaphragm System

Allows precise, targeted photo-manipulation in combination with simultaneous dual-color imaging at high resolution and speed
