The Olympus FV1000 IX81 is a laser scanning confocal microscope built for life cell imaging. The imaging platform is operated using Fluo-View-FV1000 2.0b. 

The FV1000 is equipped with an environmental chamber which allows the user to maintain stable experimental conditions like 37°C, 90% humidity and 5% CO2 concentration for long-term life imaging if needed.

The FV1000 IX81 is equipped with 4 lasers:

Laser	Wavelength (nm)	Output power
1	458, 488, 515	adjustable
2	635	adjustable
3	559	adjustable
