Olympus FluoView3000 Schwerzenbach
Brief description
This confocal Olympus FluoView 3000 microscope consists of an inverted stand equipped with a live cell incubation chamber (Tokai Hit) as well as a resonant scanner for fast confocal live cell applications. In addition the system is equipped with a sCMOS camera (Hamamatsu Orca Flash 4.2) and can be used as a conventional fluorescence widefield microscope.
