Inverted Spinning Disk Confocal

New state-of-the-art 3i CSU-W1 SoRa Spinning Disk Confocal Microscope for high speed, high sensitivity confocal imaging.
As a special feature, this microscope is equipped with an vertical stage (optional), where, for instance, long-term imaging experiments of plants growing in the correct orientation can be carried out. A lamp for illuminating plant samples in long-term experiments is present as well, and its control including day/night cycles is integrated into the imaging software.
