Nikon ECLIPSE Ti2-E X-Light V3 spinning disk
The Nikon ECLIPSE Ti2-E inverted microscope, equipped with the CrestOptics X-Light V3 spinning disk confocal module, was installed at the core facility in late 2023 and is now available for user training and booking.
The Nikon CrestOptics spinning disk microscope is suitable for imaging live cells, fixed samples, thick tissue samples, as well as organoids, in either wide field or confocal mode. This instrument has a large field of view (25 x 25 mm) and uniform illumination (due to micro lenses) resulting in seamless stitching of large images. Penta-band and dual-band filters facilitate detection of emitted light from the most common fluorophores (DAPI, FITC, TRITC, Cy5, Cy7, CFP, YFP).
In addition, the dual camera setup and Z piezo device give fast imaging of multiple channels and z-stacks with nanometer precision.
