Uses

• This system is more sensitive than the prior 510/710 models, and adds atmosphere (CO₂/O₂) and temperature control. It is ideal for imaging live cells.
• The system also has the Definite Focus feature, allowing the system to accommodate for focus drifting that may occur.
• Airy scan - Resolution improvement is modest (about 1.7 fold) and 8 fold greater sensitivity.
• Modules included - Physiology, FRET, FRAP, 3D, Tiling
