Unrivaled Versatility

Biomedical scientists across a wide range of disciplines will reap the benefits from the unrivalled versatility offered by the latest laser scanning microscope from Carl Zeiss. The innovative LSM 5 DUO combines two award-winning confocal laser scanning microscopes to form a single state-of-the-art instrument that establishes a new benchmark for experimental and imaging versatility. The fast line scanning module of the LSM 5 LIVE and the precise point scanning module of the LSM 510 META, both winners of the R&D 100 Award, are integrated in the new workstation. The two independent scanner groups provide great flexibility in optical sample micromanipulation for FLIP or FRAP applications or when utilising photoactivateable and photoconvertible variants of fluorescent proteins. Dynamic processes up to the kHz range may be observed using the systems ultra-fast acquisition capabilities.
