A Zeiss Cell Observer Spinning Disk Confocal microscope is fully integrated for live-imaging at high resolution. It allows for complex time-lapse imaging experiments to be programmed and executed in high throughput manner. - Two Photometrics Delta (64 fps, at 512x512) EM CCD cameras, for simultaneous acquisition of two channels - Environmental control for CO 2 and hypoxia - A combination of high numerical aperture (i.e., 100x/1.46) and multi-immersion corrected objective lenses (i.e., 25x/0.8, 560 μ working distance) - Virtual slides using high resolution/high magnification objectives (i.e., 100x/1.46 and 150x/1.35) and a color CCD camera - Definitive focus - Deconvolution, physiological analyses and stitching applications
