Carl Zeiss has introduced the Cell Observer SD for live-cell imaging, which integrates Yokogawa's CSU-X1 confocal scanning unit.
Cell Observer SD allows confocal observation and documentation of experiments on living cells over a long period of time and with high frame rates.
Cell Observer SD is ideal for research in molecular cell biology, developmental biology, neurobiology and live cell imaging.
Together with the entire line of incubation accessories from Carl Zeiss, Cell Observer SD enables users to observe living specimens for hours without damaging them.
It automatically saves all major incubation parameters such as temperature and CO2 content together with the image data.
All settings are made via the Axiovision software.
The Axiovision software modules work solo or in combination, from simple camera control or multi-channel imaging to a special high-speed mode for maximum frame rates or the simultaneous operation of two cameras.
Cell Observer SD easily integrates other fluorescence-imaging techniques, such as fluorescence recovery after photobleaching (FRAP).
