Research & Development 100 Award 2011 for Carl Zeiss Imaging System LSM 780
The LSM 780 from Carl Zeiss has been awarded the Research & Development 100 Award 2011. The LSM 780 is a confocal laser scanning microscope, featuring high-sensitivity GaAsP detector, innovative software functions for single molecule and high dynamic range imaging and a 355nm CW laser. The highly advanced detector almost doubles sensitivity, enabling researchers to image samples with increased scanning speed and improved image quality. More than 100 leading Bioscience labs worldwide are using the advantages of the GaAsP technology already.
Since 1963, an independent judging panel and editors of R&D Magazine have annually awarded the 100 most technologically significant products introduced into the marketplace.
