ZEISS
The state-of-the art NLO microscopy system housed on a platform of an Axiovert 200M inverted microscope equipped with standard illumination systems for transmitted light and epi-fluorescence detection and a set of visible light lasers (an Argon laser 458/477/488/514 nm/ 30 mW, a Helium: Neon laser 543 nm/ 1 mW and a Helium: Neon laser 633 nm, 5 mW) for confocal microscopy. It is equipped with an NLO interface for a femtosecond Titanium: Sapphire laser excitation source (Chameleon-Ultra, Coherent) for multi-photon excitation with the exceptional tunability range from 690 to 1040 nm. The instrument is equipped with two single channel photomultiplier tube detectors, the META polychromatic detector, the NDD detector for SHG detection in reflected mode, and a transmission light channel detector capable of detecting SHG signal in transmitted mode. The microscope platform is equipped with a motorized X-Y scanning stage and long-working distance and high numerical aperture objectives (10, 20, 40, and 100X).
