Robot microscope

  • Confocal imaging in 24-, 48-, 96-, 384- or 1536-well plates
  • Environmental control: temperature, CO2, humidity
  • Objectives: 20x and 60x water immersion
  • Three CCD cameras and settings (se below) to visualize DAPI, CFP, GFP, YFP, RFP
  • Dispenser unit for addition of compounds to wells
  • Laser based auto focus
  • Script-based Image and Data analysis program that can run during the experiment
