The laser scanning microscope (LSM) enables the image formation via a laser scanner with a wavelength of 405 nm, in addition to standard transmitted light / reflected light microscopy. As a result, high-resolution three-dimensional surface images with a resolution of 10 nm can be generated in the z-direction. Image processing software can be used to create mosaic and stack images in LSM mode as well as in light microscopy. The light microscope with a 6-fold turret with the help of the 5.0 MegaPixel camera takes pictures with a maximum magnification of 1000 x. The object table control is motorized and reproducibly reproducible up to 1 μm.
