Description
The A1r inverted is a highly motorised confocal laser scanning microscope for multidimensional acquisition (xyzt in multiple channels) of fixed samples.
Technical Specifications
Objective lens: 10x, 20x, 40x (water), 60x (water), 100x (oil)
Filters: DAPI, FITC, TRITC, CY5
Laser lines: 405 nm, 488 nm, 561 nm, 640 nm
Confocal imaging: 4 PMT detectors
Scanners: Galvo, Resonant
Stage: Nikon Motorised Stage
Software: NIS elements
Model
A1R
Manufacturer
Nikon
Application
Confocal imaging
Special Remarks
The extremely fast resonant scanner facilitates rapid acquisition of data which has proven invaluable for acquiring large datasets of thick specimens with large fields of view, requiring the stitching of multiple image stacks. The additional galvo scanner gives the flexibility to carry out more conventional confocal microscopy. The confocal pinhole prevents out-of-focus light from reaching the detector.
