Available Techniques: Fluorescent, Brightfield
Objectives10x, 20x, 40x (dry)
This is an older microscope that was donated to the NeuroTechnology Studio. It is in good working condition, but provides limited options and is intended primarily for users who want to quickly check their samples’ fluorescence intensity level, or manually take fluorescence images.
It can be used for fluorescence imaging with DAPI/GFP/YFP/TexasRed/Cy5 channel + brightfield. The microscope has a Hamamatsu Orca Flash 4.0 camera for fluorescence acquisition. It does NOT have a color camera and is NOT capable of DIC/Phase Contrast imaging. The microscope is equipped with 10X, 20X, 40X dry objectives. No oil objective is available.
