Nikon Ti-E YokoGawa CSU-W1 / Nikon C2+

Description of the microscope:

Flexibility and versatility: The Nikon confocal offers both spinning disk and point scanning capabilities, allowing for a wide range of imaging applications. The seven laser lines and filters also provide flexibility in terms of fluorophore selection. This makes it a valuable tool for researchers working on a variety of projects. Additionally, the stage is fully motorized and equipped with a stage-top incubator providing appropriate temperature and CO2 for live samples.

Strengths of each scanning mode: The CSU-W1 spinning disk confocal is ideal for live cell imaging or fixed samples when speed and reduced photo-toxicity are required. On the other hand, the C2+ point scanner offers the flexibility to adjust the scan zoom for optimal pixel size and resolution, while also allowing for deeper penetration into thicker samples. Overall, the large field of view and high resolution make it well-suited for slide scanning, plate scanning, tiling of large images, and live cell imaging.

Easy of use: The fact that both scanning modes can be used with the same motorized microscope, the same software and can be switched with a simple click makes the acquisition process fast and simple.

Latest software upgrades: The microscope has been upgraded with the latest software, including artificial intelligence de-noising, which can help improve the quality of images. This is a valuable feature that can appeal to researchers looking for ways to optimize image quality.

Overall, thanks to its flexibility, versatility, ease of use, and latest software upgrades, the capabilities of this Nikon confocal microscope can be optimized and promoted to researchers looking for a powerful imaging tool for their research projects.
