Zeiss LSM 510 Laser Scanning Confocal w/ Axio Observer Z1 Inverted Phase Contrast Fluorescence Motorized w/ Optional Definite Focus (1, 2, or 3) Confocal

Zeiss LSM 510 Laser Scanning Confocal Microscope with Axio Observer Z1 & Definite Focus (Refurbished)

The Zeiss LSM 510 laser scanning confocal microscope, now offered with the Axio Observer Z1 inverted research platform and Definite Focus technology, provides advanced fluorescence imaging capabilities for 3D optical sectioning, live-cell imaging, and time-lapse microscopy. This system features multi-laser excitation, high-sensitivity PMT detectors, and automated Z-stacking, enabling high-resolution, reproducible confocal imaging across a wide range of biological applications.

The Axio Observer Z1 base offers fully motorized control, exceptional optical stability, and modular expandability, while Definite Focus maintains precise focal alignment over long imaging sessions — making this system ideal for live-cell and 4D imaging workflows.
