Olympus IX81 inverted fluorescent microscope with AFM integration capability
The Olympus IX81 with ZDC stage control is fitted with 3 lasers (488, 543 and 633nm) to accommodate a wide range of experimental demands. Phase contrast, DIC and widefield fluorescence modalities are also available. The Asylum MFP-3D atomic force microscope can also be mounted on the microscope to obtain force and conductivity measurements as well as structural information on the nanometer scale.
