| Description |
When I complain about being stuck in a darkened room using a microscope, this is the microscope in question. Normally I keep the room darker than this, but I turned up the dimmer a little to take the photo. It's a Zeiss LSM 5 PASCAL (Axioskop 2 "mot plus") confocal microscope. The idea is that you locate the sample on your slide using the normal stereo microscope part (the eyepieces you can see) with the sample illuminated with filtered light from the mercury lamp. Then you switch to using the LASER scanning system (with illumination from the Argon and HeNe LASERs) for finer positioning, selecting the start and stop depths of the volume you want to image, etc. All of that later step is done from the computer rather than the eyepieces. |
