WF Laser Microdissection CRTD (Zeiss)

It is a laser microdissection system consisting of an inverted fluorescent microscope with a motorized stage and two cameras (b/w and color)

Suitable for the manipulation of biological samples with a UV laser and the collection of cut material. It can be used for tissue sections, live cell selection and manipulations of whole organisms. Moreover it is a fully working imaging system.
