Zeiss LSM 510META Confocal Laser scanning Microscope

The Zeiss LSM 510 META Confocal Laser Scanning Microscope creates high-resolution 3D images of thick fluorescent samples by scanning them with a laser beam and collecting only in-focus light. Its key "META" feature allows it to separate and analyze overlapping fluorescent signals using emission fingerprinting, which helps distinguish multiple fluorophores simultaneously for co-localization studies. The system also supports 3D reconstruction, time-lapse imaging of cellular events, and advanced techniques like Fluorescence Recovery after Photobleaching (FRAP) for studying molecular dynamics.
