Fast confocal microscopy

The A1 utilises conventional paired galvanometers to produce highresolution images (up to 4096 x 4096 pixels), while the A1R incorporates a special hybrid scanner system (offering frame rates of 30 fps, 512 x 512 pixels). This facilitates ultra-high-speed imaging with unsurpassed image quality. Furthermore, the hybrid scanner enables simultaneous photo-activation and imaging, which is critical for unveiling cell dynamics and interactions.

The new systems are a natural complement to the recently launched Ti inverted microscope, particularly when coupled with Nikon’s Perfect Focus system. Together, they set a new standard for advanced time-lapse studies of rapid cellular interactions.
