Nikon CSU-X1 Spinning Disk

 

This is an inverted Nikon Ti microscope equipped with a CSU-X1 spinning disk confocal, Photometrics Prime 95B sCMOS camera, and an OkoLab cage incubator with CO2 and humidity control. The system is optimized for imaging live cells with high sensitivity and resolution. The Nikon Perfect Focus System can be used to keep live samples in focus over time and at multiple positions.
