✦ Synopsis
The confocal laser scanning microscope (CLSM) is a key biomedical research tool. With progressive improvements in scanning speeds, image quality and the number of available functions, researchers have made many major breakthroughs. However, there are still biological processes which challenge even the fastest and most flexible CLSM. In response to this, Nikon has launched the A1 Series, suitable for the most demanding biomedical applications.
The LiveScan Swept Field Confocal Microscope (SFC) offers a choice of multiple pinholes or slit scanning position apertures, allowing the scanning speed and resolution to be changed. This makes it suitable for researchers who need fast data acquisition, such as those working on dynamic live cell imaging. Now Nikon is launching its top-of-the-range A1 series of CLSMs, so that they now offer a confocal microscope for every biomedical application and budget.
