Modular confocal microscope

Designed on a modular basis, the laser confocal microscope supports flexible upgrade solutions that can integrate a variety of innovative features, including STED ultra high resolution imaging, DIVE Tunable spectral deep tissue imaging, and more.

About confocal microscopy

Laser confocal scanning microscopy (CLSM) is a method of producing sections from microscopic samples by optical means. The sample remains intact and the slice can be repeated many times. True confocal scanning (TCS) is a technique that irradiates and observes only one diffraction limit spot at a time. The advantage of confocal imaging is that contrast is significantly improved by removing the focal plane clutter. The Z-sequence (3D image stack) of optical slices can then be rendered as emboss effects, depth-coded maps, or 3D animations. TCS can also be combined with multicolor fluorescence imaging, time-delay imaging, FLIM, FRAP, and FCS measurements.
