Details

The Zeiss Observer Z1 inverted research-grade microscope is configured to perform fluorescence microscopy, bright-field microscopy, phase contrast microscopy and differential interference contrast (DIC) microscopy. The addition of an Okolab heating stage chamber allows live cell imaging. The entire system is driven using Zen, a sophisticated Zeiss software package which facilitates image collection and system control. The installed ZEN Tiles & Positions module allows scanning specimen in large area and aligning the individual images precisely in relation to one another, and provides the optimal basis for imaging and analyzing the area larger than the field of view. Two Zeiss cameras are available with the microscope, the monochromatic AxioCam 506 (2752 x 2208 pixels, up to 20 fps) and the color AxioCam 503 (1936 x 1460 pixels, up to 38 fps).
