Leica Thunder Spinning Disk-TimeLapse

Inverted fluorescence microscope with all wide-field fluorescence and colour techniques. With online and offline deconvolution routines. With navigator module and incubation system. It also has a spinning disk mode (Cicero) that allows multichannel and 3D images to be acquired much faster than a point-by-point scanning confocal microscope and reduces the time per experiment
