LSM 980 Confocal Microscope
Equipment Introduction
The LSM 980 confocal microscope is an inverted laser microscope for high speed three-or-four-dimensional imaging of subcellular structures in live or fixed specimens. Paired with AiryScan 2, users can obtain super-resolution images up to 120/120 nm (x/y).
