LSM 980, your platform for confocal 4D imaging, is optimized for simultaneous spectral detection of multiple weak labels with the highest light efficiency.
LSM 980 – Confocal Microscope with Airyscan 2
Your Unique Confocal Experience for Fast and Gentle Multiplex Imaging
To analyze life with as little disturbance as possible, you must use low labeling density for your biological models. This requires excellent imaging performance combined with low phototoxicity and high speed.
