Zeiss Spinning Disk (Invert) (Campus for Aging and Vitality)
Spinning disk microscopy is an established imaging technique of choice for imaging both dynamic and light-sensitive processes in living cells. The system utilises the Yokogawa CSUX1 spinning disk head and coupled with a QuantEM camera(Photometrics) is capable of capturing high speed (>30fps) confocal data sets.
The microscope employs software autofocus correction and is fully-enclosed in a heated environmental chamber with the ability to set, maintain and monitor temperature, humidity, O2 and CO2 levels as imaging conditions dictate.
The system is run through Zeiss’ AxioVision software package.
