Nucleus® MSR upright fluorescence microscopes
About This Series
Zaber’s MSR series of motorized, upright microscopes are designed to lower the barriers to automated microscopy. Combining Zaber precision motion control and world-class optics, MSR microscopes deliver unparalleled performance and value.
The modular design allows easy swapping of key modules such as the episcopic and transmitted illuminators, camera and even the tube lens, should you need to switch optical systems.
While most microscope companies charge you thousands for software, we provide a system that is fully compatible with µManager open source microscopy software. For applications requiring extended capabilities, we give you full access to all software-controlled microscope functions through the Zaber Motion Library API to allow easy custom scripting.
- The MSR microscope features motorized XY positioning, focus, filter cube and objective changes allowing fully automated whole slide imaging.
- The 3-channel, LED epi-illuminator is designed to excite fluorophores from DAPI (390 nm) to Cy5 (650 nm).
- The microscope connects to your computer through a single USB port and allows control of all motorized and LED functions through µManager or Zaber Launcher.
- The modular design allows easy customizations. Please contact us for details.
