Zeiss LSM 980 NLO Multi-Photon Microscope
Zeiss LSM 980 NLO Multi-Photon Microscope (2025)
Multi-photon illumination has always appealed to biologists for imaging deep into living tissue. But did you ever imagine probing more than 5mm into your sample? Using the 980 NLO with our specialized Clearing objective, you can visualize deep into clarified tissue with incredible resolution. Even without clarifying your samples, this microscope excels at penetrating deep into live or fixed specimens, and creating beautiful 3D datasets thanks to a tunable infra-red laser that can be used for multi-photon (2P, 3P) and second harmonic generation (SHG) imaging.Laser lines (confocal): 405, 440, 458, 488, 514, 561, 633Laser lines (2-photon): Spectra-Physics Insight DS+ tunable from 680-1300nmCommonly imaged dyes: all visible spectrum and near IR dyes (405-700nm)Confocal detection: 6 channel spectral detector2-photon detection: 6 channel spectral detector or 4 channel (Blue, Green, Red, Far-Red) non-descanned detection Specification of the LSM 980 NLO
