The Micro Imaging Facility's Nikon Eclipse Ti2E is a widefield fluorescent microscope ideally suited for live cell and explant imaging. Its super-fast sCMOS camera with a really large field of view, together with its different features, allows the observation of sub-millisecond events never seen before. Media perfusion and change can also be performed on this system with the high-performance microfluidics pressure and flow controller.
Andor Zyla 4.2+ sCMOS camera (2048 x 2048 pixels), 6.5 μm/pixel
Frame rate from 100 fps at 2048 x 2048, up to 1570 fps at 128 x 128 pixels
Live and fixed imaging
Calcium imaging, optical mapping with voltage-sensitive dye to locate and observe pacemaker and conduction pattern in explants or organoids, brightfield or fluorescent observation of ultrafast sub-millisecond events
Huygens deconvolution
