The Zeiss LSM 880 is a confocal laser scanning microscope designed for fluorescence imaging of fixed and live samples. The Zeiss LSM 880 features a 32-channel GaAsP Airyscan detector for high-resolution imaging with spectral detection. The Zeiss LSM 880 supports laser lines at 405 nm, 458/488/514 nm, 561 nm, and 633 nm, with additional lines for ablation and photoactivation.[1][2][3]
What it is
How it works
The LSM 880 is controlled by the ZEN software (black edition). The system includes a set of laser lines: 405 nm (30 mW), multiline 458/488/514 nm (25 mW), 561 nm (20 mW), and 633 nm (5 mW). Detectors comprise two photomultiplier tubes, one GaAsP detector, and the Airyscan detector (32 GaAsP). The Airyscan detector improves resolution and signal-to-noise ratio.[3][1]
Where it fits in the process flow
Applications
The system supports applications such as fixed-sample imaging, live-cell time-lapse experiments, and three-dimensional reconstruction. The Airyscan module provides enhanced resolution suitable for quantitative live-cell experiments. The 32-channel spectral detector allows simultaneous acquisition and on-the-fly unmixing of multiple fluorophores.[1][3]
