    • Brief description:
    Nikon inverted TiE micorsopce coupled to a spinning Yokogawa CSU-X1 unit dedicated to 3D confocal imaging of live samples. All the peripheriques are controled by the Inscoper electronic box, that increases the acquisition speed (triggering).

    Controlled by the Inscoper software
    Objectives:
    10X Plan 0.25 NA dry
    20X Plan Apo lambda 0.75 NA dry
    40X Plan Fluor 1.3 NA oil
    60X Plan Apo lambda 1.4 NA oil
    100X Plan Apo lambda 1.45 NA oil

    Detector:
    1 sCMOS back-illuminated PRime95B Photometrics
    (1200*1200 pixels, 11µm pixel size)

    Environmental control: temperature and CO2
    Illumination sources:
    1 laser bench Oxxius:
    405nm (50mW), 488nm (100mW), 561nm (100mW) and 638nm (100mW)

    Spectral configuration:
    3 dichroïcs in the head unit: MONO (488), DUAL (488-561) and QUAD (405-488-561-640)
    6 emission filters in the external wheel:
