Zeiss Celldiscoverer 7 (CD7) High Content Inverted Phase Contrast Fluorescence Motorized Microscope

Zeiss Celldiscoverer 7 LCI High Content Inverted Phase Contrast Fluorescence Motorized Microscope (Used) 430039-9210-000

The Zeiss Celldiscoverer 7 is a fully automated inverted imaging platform for live cell and fixed sample work. It combines the automation of a boxed system with the optics of an inverted research microscope: it recognizes the sample carrier, calibrates it, finds focus and holds it, so long time-lapse and multiwell experiments run unattended. This unit is the LCI (live cell incubation) system unit.

Key Features

• Automatic recognition of slides, Petri dishes, chamber slides and multiwell plates, including vessel bottom material and thickness
• Autocorr objectives adjust automatically to glass or plastic bottoms of different thickness for crisp contrast and resolution
• Find Focus places the sample in focus in one click; Definite Focus holds it over experiments lasting seconds to days
• Built-in 0.5x / 1x / 2x magnification changer gives three magnifications per objective at a fixed working distance (2.5x to 100x range depending on objectives)
• LED excitation synchronized with the camera and an automated excitation field stop that lights only the active field of view, for low phototoxicity
• Phase gradient contrast that adapts to the vessel geometry and gives contrast right to the edge of the well, through lids and plastic
• Adaptive Lens Guard calculates the maximum safe scanning area for each carrier, objective and focus position
• Automatic plate calibration and UV disinfection workflow for the sample chamber

Applications

• High content screening and cell-based assays in 96 and 384 well plates
• Long-term live cell time-lapse imaging under controlled conditions
• Label-free cell proliferation and growth measurements with phase gradient contrast
• Multichannel fluorescence imaging of fixed cells, tissue sections and organoids
• Imaging of small model organisms such as zebrafish, Drosophila and C. elegans embryos
• Compound addition experiments using the on-axis dispensing unit
