Bio-imaging equipment

Lattice Lightsheet

The lattice lightsheet is a rapid and gentle live cell imaging system. It is ideal for imaging sensitive processes, experiments requiring high temporal resolution or those requiring longer-term imaging.  

Capabilities

  • Gentle fast imaging of live cells at high resolution
  • Inverted microscope
  • Z-stack and tile scanning
  • Incubation for temperature and CO2 control
  • Compatible with slides, chamber slides, multi-well plates and chamber slides with skirt <0.5mm and glass thickness #1.5 (1.60mm-190mm)
