Brief description:

The Zeiss Celldiscoverer 7 is an automated fluorescent wide-field and confocal microscope capable of imaging microplates and microscopy slides. It is equiped with an automated water-immersion system for the 50x objective. It is integrated in a robotic system with hotels at room-temperature and an automated incubator. That allows to automatically image several plates in sequence or make long-term live-cell experiments.
