HSRB I & II Microscopes
Nikon CSU-W1 SoRa Spinning Disk / HSRB I
The CSU-W1 SoRa is a confocal field scanning spinning disk system and a confocal super resolution system in a single package. We offer dry as well as water immersion lenses for high resolution imaging with fixed and live cell.
- Fast and gentle spinning disk confocal
- two disks, one for confocal, one for super resolution
- easy switch between the two disks
- Four laser lines [nm]: 385, 475, 550, and 621
- Z-stacks, timelapse, multi-point imaging, tiling
- Live-cell imaging with stage top incubator
Leica STELLARIS 8 / HSRB II
- White light laser, extended into the near IR allowing for the application and separation an extended range of spectrally overlapping fluorophores.
- Point scanning inverted confocal
- Galvano and resonant scanners
- 5 detectors: 3 Power HyD-S and 2 Power HyD-X
- Tokai Hit stage top incubator for CO2 and temperature control
- Whitlight lasers, 440-790
- Navigator software for tiling
- TauSense for FLIM
- LIGHTNING for optimal extraction of image details and maximum resolution
Miltenyi UltraMicroscope Blaze Lightsheet / HSRB II
A fully automated light sheet microscope for imaging large or multiple cleared samples at subcellular resolution.
- Super resolution achieved through the clearing of tissue, organs or small animals allowing for complete 3D mapping at single cell resolution.
Leica Thunder Widefield / HSRB II
3D live cell wide field microscope. The Thunder imager helps to maintain optimal physiological conditions by minimizing photobleaching, providing high performance imaging.
- fully motorized DMi8 microscope
- highly sensitive K8 camera
- multi-line, high-intensity fluorescence LED light source
- Live cell imaging with a Tokai Hit stage top incubator
- Computational clearing to minimize out of focus blur
