Spinning-disk Ti2E
Inverted microscope, equipped with a Yokagawa CSU-W1 spinning disk with 2 pinhole size, and two cameras: a more sensitive and another more resolutive.
It allows the fast acquisition of optically sectioned slices at very high speed, and is compatible with live specimen imaging as it limits phototoxicity.
