LSM 780 upright CRTD (Zeiss)

It is an upright Laser Scanning Confocal microscope with 32 spectral detection channels (GaAsP), 2 PMTs, one Airyscan-detector and one transmission PMT. A selection of objective lenses is listed below, but more are available, too.
Suitable for the detection of multiple fluorescent dyes, FRAP, FRET, optical sectioning for 3D reconstruction, spectral unmixing of overlapping emission spectra, Airyscan super resolution. It can acquire brightfield and DIC images with the transmission detector.
