Inverted Microscope in TIRF mode for super-resolution PALM-nSTORM and live cell imaging
Our Nikon Ti-Eclipse microscope is equipped with 3 different objectives (20x long WD (1.2 mm), oil immersions 40x and 100x corrected for super resolution imaging) and 5 different filter cubes, 3 classical for blue (Dapi), green (FITC) and red (mCherry) imaging, 2 optimized for super resolution (STORM or PALM w/mEos2). The EM-CCD detector allows fast acquisition in low fluorescence levels. 3 different lasers, namely 405, 488 and 561 nm are fiber coupled to a TIRF module allowing either TIRF excitation or wide-field excitation. A perfect focus system is also available to avoid any z-drift during long time image acquisition.
