The LAST NEW Nikon Confocal microscope
Coming soon...
WIll arrived this summer !
See More of the Specimen
With the largest field-of-view on both inverted and upright microscope stands available (25mm diagonal), more specimens fit in one FOV with more objective lens choices than ever before.
Coupled with scanning sizes up to 8192 x 8192 pixels, sampling beyond the optical diffraction limit is possible even at low magnifications with the AX/AX R.
Using lower magnifications with longer working distances and high numerical apertures enables more flexible specimen preparations to be used, while the large FOV allows simultaneous high resolution in one image. Collect more data in every image, and at faster rates.
Observe with Minimal Disturbance
Laser scanning confocal imaging is principally challenging on specimen viability, as it applies focused laser illumination point by point on a sample.
The AX R’s high speed resonant scanning, which decreases the illumination time by more than 20x typical confocal scanning times, greatly reduces biases caused by merely acquiring images. Reducing the acquisition time also allows for extremely high-speed imaging (up to 720 fps @ 2048 x 16).
The result: longer imaging and/or more frequent imaging at high speed of living samples which allows capture of dynamic events, but also allows longer time-lapse imaging or significantly faster collection times on fixed specimens.
Acquire More Rapidly
Confocal imaging, notoriously slow because of its point-scanning requirement for high quality 3-dimensional imaging at high resolution, is greatly changed by fast imaging with the AX R’s resonant scanning capabilities.
