Zeiss Axio Observer 7 Inverted Microscope with Apotome .2 is an inverted transmitted light (brightfield/phase/DIC) and fluorescence microscope with a motorized Z-axis control for optical sectioning. The Apotome attachment allows for structured illumination, which eliminates out of focus/scatted light. Filters include DAPI, GFP, and DsRed. Digital cameras= 6 MP Axiocam 506 monochrome and 5 MP Axiocam 105 color.
