Tissue (100-1000X)

Most fluorescently labeled tissue slices (100µm uncleared and up to 500µm cleared) are best imaged with a confocal microscope. The confocal microscope removes most of the "out-of-focus" blur associated with imaging fluorescent specimens that are thicker than the depth of field of the objective lens.
Multi-channel: up to 3 biomolecules/fluorophores can be collected simultaneously with reflection microscopy. Z series can be combined with multiple biomolecules or fluorophores.
