• Zeiss LSM880

The Zeiss LSM880 confocal microscope is a powerful imaging tool used in biological and materials science research. It utilizes laser scanning technology to generate high-resolution, three-dimensional images of samples, allowing for the visualization of subcellular structures and fine details of tissues and materials. The LSM880 confocal microscope can be used for a wide range of applications, including fluorescence imaging, live-cell imaging and spectral imaging.

• Nikon A1

The Nikon A1, our first laser scanning confocal microscope, is a dependable system for fluorescence imaging. It’s not the fastest confocal we have and doesn’t include an incubator for live-cell imaging, but for experiments where these aren’t needed, it’s well-suited. With lower usage compared to other systems, the A1 is readily available for long-term, high-resolution studies, ensuring consistent and accurate results.

The Zeiss Axio Observer is a versatile microscope that can perform a range of basic imaging techniques such as brightfield, darkfield, phase contrast, and widefield fluorescence microscopy. This system is ideal for users who want to quickly visualize their samples.

The Evident IX83 is a fully motorized and automated inverted fluorescence microscope from the IX3 series, designed for advanced life science research. It offers exceptional flexibility and performance for a wide range of imaging applications, including live-cell imaging, time-lapse studies, and multicolor fluorescence.

Observations of cellular morphology and activity often rely on labeling target molecules which can be invasive, alter the target molecules, and lack quantitative information. Common imaging tools, such as laser-based microscopes, may also cause phototoxic damage to cells. Holotomography (HT) imaging can visualize cells without labeling by capturing the light scattering properties of cellular materials using low levels of light intensity. The Tomocube HT-X1 Holotomography can collect and selectively color refractive index information to reveal cells and their organelles, while also providing quantitative 3D data such as volume, surface area, and dry mass.

The LV200 has been carefully designed for long-duration cell bioluminescence. A completely new optical design dramatically increases sensitivity (using the Orca quest 1 for detection) and enables the detailed study of photosensitive cells and luminescence probes at high magnification. The built-in system for temperature control, humidity and gas flow helps to keep the cultured cells or tissue slices in a healthy condition throughout the observation period and the unique light-tight enclosure shields the sample and optics from any external light.

The WITec alpha300 R is a high-performance confocal Raman imaging microscope designed for non-destructive chemical analysis. It is widely used in materials science, life sciences, and nanotechnology. The alpha300 R is able to use excitation lasers at 532 nm, 633 nm, and 785 nm.

Imaging your cells inside a laminar flowhood has never been more easy, with the Echo Rebel. Simply rotate the microscope to use it as an inverted or upright microscope for well plates, microscope slides or other cell/tissue holders.

For handling, transfering, measuring or weighing of your samples you can use the balances, pH-meter, pipet sets, pipet tips, gloves, microscope slides available to every BIC user.
