October 2021 – LSM 900 with Airyscan 2
The OBC is excited to announce that the LSM 900 with Airyscan 2 is installed and ready for use! The LSM 900 Airyscan gives up 120nm resolution, can image in “multiplex” mode to scan 4x faster and has “sample navigator” for taking a quick overview image of your sample for tiling and multi-position imaging.

The confocal pinhole itself remains open and does not block light, thus more photons are collected. This produces much greater light efficiency while imaging. Airyscan 2 gives you a unique combination of gentle superresolution imaging and high sensitivity.
