Fast, "real-time" confocal imaging. The microscope is equipped with three lasers for imaging 488 nm, 561 nm and 640 nm, a laser for laser ablatin and two cameras and sCMOS (for higher resolution) and an EMCCD (for sensitivity).
The set-up is suitable for confocal imaging of EGFP, mCherry, dTomato, Draq5 and the likes with high temporal and spatial resolution.
