Nikon Eclipse TE-2000E/C1 Laser Scanning Confocal Microscope

Nikon C1 Laser Scanning Confocal Microscope

A cutting-edge instrument enabling imaging of fluorescent samples with spatial resolution of 0.25 and 0.9 µm in x/y and z directions, respectively. Equipped with standard and spectral detectors to cover the whole scale of fluorophores used in biological microscopy.

Nikon Eclipse TE-2000U Inverted Epifluorescent Microscope

Epifluorescent microscopes Nikon TE-300 and E-800

Equipped with filters covering all usual fluorophores, phase-contrast and DIC optics. The stage is motorized in x, y, and z directions. In conjunction with the environmental box, motorized filter cube changer, and highly sensitive cooled CCD camera the system enables live imaging in multiple epifluorescent and transmitted light channels.

Nikon TE-300 Inverted Epifluorescent Microscope

A simple, yet reliable epifluorescent microscope. The motorized stage, CCD camera, and environmental box enable time-lapse experiments in addition to standard fluorescent and phase-contrast imaging.

Nikon fluorescent dissecting microscope

A dissecting microscope with wide scale of magnifications, fluorescent or white light illumination and a color CCD camera

Nikon Eclipse 800 with HiSKY spectral imaging head

ASI HiSKY spectral detector on Nikon Eclipse 800

Provides the researchers with the capability of karyotyping using "chromosome painting" - a modification of FISH (fluorescent in-situ hybridization)

Bioptechs Live imaging chamber

Used for high resolution live imaging on the confocal microscope. Objective heater enables time lapse experiments lasting up to several hours
