The newest Zeiss confocal system, the LSM 880 increases speed and sensitivity compared with previous confocal systems, and offers the unique and exciting new AiryScan detector assembly, which increases maximum system resolution by up to 1.7x! With the AiryScan FAST detector, you now have near superresolution imaging possible in a live cell setting, with no special sample preparation required and compatibility with traditional dyes and fluorescent proteins. The LSM 880 can be fitted to inverted, upright, as well as upright fixed stage microscope frames. Integrated and operated by ZEN black confocal software, the LSM 880 is both powerful and easy to use.
