The Zeiss Elyra 7 system is based on the Axio Observer 7 (inverted stand) equipped with an incubator for live-cell imaging with temperature and CO2 control. The microscope is equipped with two cooled sCMOS cameras for simultaneous two-color and sequential four-color (4-channel) imaging. The Zeiss Elyra 7 is a wide-field based super-resolution system that uses a specialized 3D Lattice illumination pattern for 3D structured-illumination (SIM) images. The lattice illumination enables faster, gentler, and deeper imaging of living specimens at high speed in Burst Mode. The SIM² processing mode can double the resolution of the regular SIM, producing images with an effective resolution down to ~60 nm in x and y and ~200nm in z. The Zeiss Elyra 7 system also enables total internal reflection fluorescence microscopy (TIRFM) and single-molecule localization microscopy (SMLM).
