How it works

The Zeiss LSM 780 uses laser excitation and confocal detection for fluorescence imaging. The Zeiss LSM 780 is equipped with a 34 channel spectral array with laser lines at 405 nm, 458 nm, 488 nm, 514 nm, 561 nm, 594 nm, and 633 nm. The Zeiss LSM 780 has a 32 channel GaAsP detector for capturing spectral information for linear unmixing. The stage can be motorized for position marking and tiled imaging over areas larger than a single field of view. The Zeiss LSM 780 can also acquire and analyze fluorescence correlation spectroscopy data when used with the appropriate module and software environment.[2][3][5]

Frequently asked questions

What type of microscope is the Zeiss LSM 780?

The Zeiss LSM 780 is a multi-purpose, visible light confocal laser scanning microscope.[2]

Can the Zeiss LSM 780 perform fluorescence correlation spectroscopy?

The Zeiss LSM 780 can acquire and analyze fluorescence correlation spectroscopy data. The fluorescence correlation spectroscopy workflow can measure particle mobility, concentration, and interaction at a single molecule level.[5]
