A Unique Confocal Experience in a Small Footprint

LSM 900 is packed with solutions for producing the best quality in confocal live cell imaging – with each component optimized for the highest sensitivity and contrast. LSM Plus lets you easily optimize the results of your multi-color and live cell experiments. All these high-end features fit in a small footprint and come with reduced complexity, so you’ll save valuable lab space and minimize the time required for user training.

Get Better Data – Faster

Airyscan 2 allows you to do more than any conventional LSM detector. Each of its 32 detector elements collects additional information, while all of them together gather even more light, yielding super-resolution quantitative results. By adding structural information with Joint Deconvolution (jDCV), you can push resolution even further. Or use the Multiplex modes to collect more information in less time.

Increase Your Productivity

ZEN microscopy software puts a wealth of helpers at your command to achieve reproducible results in the shortest possible time. AI Sample Finder helps you quickly find regions of interest, leaving more time for experiments. Smart Setup supports you in applying best imaging settings for your fluorescent labels. Direct Processing enables parallel acquisition and data processing. ZEN Connect keeps you on top of everything, both during imaging and later when sharing the whole story of your experiment.

A Streamlined Light Path

Surprising Flexibility with up to Three Confocal Detectors

The compact light path with a minimum of optical elements is designed for highest efficiency. Fluorescence emission light travels through the main dichroic beam splitter with its outstanding laser suppression to deliver supreme contrast. Up to two patented variable beam splitter dichroics (VSDs) divert the spectral part of the light. You can define up to three detectors (multialkali, GaAsP or Airyscan 2).
