The GE Healthcare Deconvolution (Restoration) Microscope is engineered to provide high contrast and high resolution at low light levels. The environmental chamber provides a temperature controlled, humidified environment with defined CO2 levels. Microscope capabilities include Z-sectioning and 3D reconstruction, time series capture for following cellular events, determining co-localization of multiple proteins and/or dyes and FRAP.
Key features include:
Cameras:
• High Resolution Photometrics CoolSNAP Camera
• High Sensitivity Photometrics HQ2 EMCCD Camera
Acquisition Software: SoftWoRx
Filter Sets:
• Live cell filter set - CFP/YFP/RFP or GFP/RF
• Standard filter set - DAPI/FITC/TRITC/CY5
• Alexa filter set - DAPI/FITC/Alexa594/Cy5
• Brightfield/DIC imaging capabilities
Objectives:
• 40X U Plan-FL N/0.75 NA, air gap
• 40X Plan-Apo/0.95 NA, air gap with correction collar
