NIKON SMZ25. Fully automated xyz microscope for time-lapse in vivo imaging.

Tunable Cool-LED p4000 (16 channels). Can acquire stacks and computationally filter out light not in focus. Orthogonal view, 3D reconstruction. LED, not confocal, but gives similar images. Time-lapse imaging. Tiling (nice stitching). Can be used for in vivo imaging of superficial vasculature in the brain using near-infrared dyes. See website.

Group is starting, not currently in heavy use. Due to automated stage, microscope can acquire images from several mice at the same time, depending on the frequency required.

Willing to train people to use it.
