Fully automated inverted research fluorescence microscope for multimodal biological imaging

Summary

The procurement covers a fully automated inverted research fluorescence microscope supplied as a ready-to-operate system for standardized routine imaging and flexible research applications. It is intended for automated large-area imaging of pollen on adhesive carriers or prepared slides, phytoplankton in slides or shallow sample and counting chambers, and small plant reference samples such as seeds and surface structures. The system will produce multimodal image datasets for quantitative image analysis and the development and evaluation of machine-learning and artificial-intelligence methods.
