QLIPP-Time Lapse

This is a conventional widefield epifluorescence system equipped with a 37°C incubation chamber and CO2 control for live cell imaging. It is set up for epifluorescence and brightfield with Quantitative label-free imaging with phase and polarization (QLIPP) imaging in collaboration with Shalin Mehta's Lab at the CZ-Biohub. Nikon Perfect Focus keeps samples in focus over hours or days for automated time-lapse experiments, while the automated stage allows for multi-position imaging
