Brief description:

The Zeiss Celldiscoverer 7 is an automated fluorescent wide-field microscope capable of imaging microplates and microscope slides. It can image in a variety of magnifications and is equiped with an automated water-immersion system for the 50x objective. It is integrated in a robotic system that allows to automatically image several plates in sequence.
