M2Discovery Details
A unique FL Stereo Microscope with extended magnification range

Mē Discovery System
The M2 Attachment for the Stereo Discovery.V12 combines two microscope systems into one platform:
A Macro, Stereo for low magnification sorting and a Micro Scope, for high magnification verification and imaging!

M2Discovery - the best of both worlds

  • Various AxioCams with Axiovision software for Multichannel, Z-Stack and Timelapse experiments
  • Multiple Documentation options
  • Manual and Motorized stage choices
  • Innovative joystick control for zoom and focus

Applications
One of the major application for the M2Discovery resides in a wide cross section of developmental biology. Its stereo mode provides the perfect tool for picking and sorting nematodes, while a quick switch to the higher magnification mode allows one to visualize high resolution images of internal features in order to verify fluorescent tagged structures.
This represents a significant cost and time saving for labs,
by allowing both steps to be completed on one platform.
Other applications include zebra fish and drosophila research, multi channel fluorescence in cell and tissue biology, and macro whole animal physiology.
