Olympus FV1000 Laser Scanning Confocal 

Equipped with a second, photokinetic scan head (405 nm laser line), two spectral scan emission detectors, and two high sensitivity (GaAsP) detectors. 

Laser lines:

• 405
• 488
• 543
• 633

Ideally Suited For:

• Complex, multi-component structures in samples fixed for IIF
• Whole mounts of small, thin, or optically transparent organs or organisms
• Photo-bleaching, photo-activation, and photo-conversion

Not Suited For:

• Weak fluorescence signals
• Live cell imaging applications (most)
• Rapid time-lapse imaging
