Light microscopes

These are the currently available objectives of all microscopes.

Leica TCS SP8 STED

  • Fluorescence confocal laser scanning microscope with a stimulated emission depletion (STED) laser at 592nm for super-resolution fluorescence microscopy.
  • Contains a UV (405nm) and white-light laser (WLL2; tuneable from 470 to 670nm) to excite a wide variety of fluorescent proteins and probes.
  • For emission detection, it has two conventional PMTs as well as two hybrid HyD detectors with gating.
  • Fast image 3D image scanning can be achieved by combining the resonance scanner and Super Z Galvo stage, whereas the CO2 and temperature controlled incubator enables live-cell imaging.
  • Runs Leica LAS X software and acquired images can be processed directly with the SVI Huygens deconvolution software.

Leica DM4000 B LED

  • Automated upright widefield fluorescence microscope with a manual stage and Leica EL6000 light source.
  • Equipped with a Perkin Elmer Nuance FX multispectral tissue imager that can be used for filter-free spectral unmixing of (auto-) fluorescence.

FEI CorrSight

  • (Cryo-) fluorescence microscope specifically designed for correlative microscopy experiments
  • Can be used in both widefield and spinning-disc imaging mode.
  • Widefield imaging is achieved by a TILL Oligochrome light source, DAPI-FITC-TxRed Tripleband HC Filter and Hamamatsu 1k ORCA-R2, whereas the spinning-disc mode makes use of a Toptica iChrome MLE LFA laser module (405, 488, 561 and 640nm), an Andromeda Yokogawa spinning disk module and Hamamatsu 2k Flash 4V2plus camera.
  • The CorrSight cryostage enables observation of samples at cryogenic temperatures, whereas the Ibidi heated chamber plate and pump enable live-cell experiments.
  • Runs FEI MAPS software to overlay correlative fluorescence microscopy images directly onto SEM images.
