This Zeiss flagship confocal system offers high sensitivity, enhanced resolution in x, y and z, and high image-acquisition speed in one system. The patent Airyscan feature extends the system’s ability on Sensitivity, Resolution and Speed. Users achieve a 1.7× higher resolution in all spatial dimensions, 140 nm laterally and 400 nm axially. The improved sensitivity leads to better image quality and increased speed. The whole imaging process is possible with standard sample preparation and labeling protocols. The Zeiss LSM880 lets the user take full advantage of large fields of view and the highest speed of any linear scanning confocal microscope at an unsurpassed image quality.
