Zeiss Axio Imager M2

Now available within MultiPark is a Zeiss Axio Imager M2 system, which has been brought into the environment with the intention of serving as a large image acquisition system. It is capable of bright-field and fluorescence illumination.

The microscope is an upright system with a motorized stage, capable of taking both large, stitched images and Z-stacks. It is also equipped with a Zeiss ApoTome 2, allowing for structured illumination imaging.

Using the system

Introduction

New users will need to undergo an introductory session before being allowed to use the system. To request this, please contact Megg (megg [dot] garcia-ryde [at] med [dot] lu [dot] se). 

Booking

Booking the system is done beforehand via an Outlook calendar.
