Axio Observer microscopes 3, 5, 7
(Fig. 3) are inverted light microscopes for universal use. They are
used primarily for examining cell and tissue cultures and sediments in culture flasks, Petri dishes and
microtiter plates under transmitted and reflected light. Also human cells and blood can be examined.
Typical fields of applications are:
−
Examination of blood and tissue samples from the human body
−
Observation of intracellular processes in living cell cultures, cell/cell interactions, motility, growth
−
Measurement of potentials, drug detection
−
Microinjection, IVF (in-vitro fertilization)
−
Toxicity studies, patch-clamp techniques, ion measurements
−
Digital recordings, time lapse studies with automated processes
−
Z-sectioning, deconvolution, visualization of molecular structures
−
Fura (Ca measurement), GFP
−
Optical tweezers and scissors
−
Single molecule detection
