This microscope is primarily for widefield fluorescence and Nomarski/DIC. It may image color brightfield by taking three sequential pictures with RGB filters (not recommended). It has automated focus for Z series and motorized stage for tiling large areas or repeatably imaging multiple positions. It may be used for live imaging and for fixed samples. Software modules include an eary
