Our group is interested in CD8 T-cells and their applications in immunotherapy. Most of our assays are in-vitro cell-based, so microscopy is commonly used.

Summary

The Good

Easy to use, good quality.

The Bad

Expensive instrument.

The Bottom Line

A fancy microscope that can visualize DAPI/GFP without a need of warmup/cool down. The software allows for auto-focus as well as picture capture using multiple filters (e.g standard light + GFP as seen in the image below). The external display also makes it possible to discuss the optical field with co-workers at any time.
