Nikon microscope 1 is a TE300 semi-automatic microscope with automated shutters microscope with automated shutters and filter wheels and manual XY control. The imaging part of the system is automated and controlled by Improvision's Openlab software, running on a Mac (OS X). The system is equipped with an Hamamatsu ORCA-R2 digital camera (pixel size 6.45 x6.45 µm) and an X-cite120 fluorescence illumination system. A TransferMan NK manipulator from Eppendorf is mounted on the microscope stage and can be used with the Eppendorf microinjection system. There is an heated insert to keep the dish with cells on temperature. This system can also be used for imaging of slides. Keep in mind that you have to turn your slide upside down, so the coverslip has to be sealed well.
