Olympus widefield

Olympus IX70 inverted microscope with Orca ER digital camera

An inverted Olympus IX70 is equipped with bright field, phase, DIC, and fluorescence optics. An excitation filter wheel and focus motor allow rapid acquisition of multi-channel images in 3 dimensions. System control and image acquisition are done with MetaMorph software. This system was recently upgraded with a Hamamatsu Orca ER CCD camera, a high sensitivity, low noise device for high resolution imaging.
