FAST IMAGING
Fast imaging using a spinning disk confocal and fast super resolution processing enable a live display of samples. The viability of cells during confocal time-lapse imaging is prolonged thanks to less phototoxicity and bleaching in 3D.

MULTI-MODAL

Users can easily switch between 3 modes (widefield, confocal, and super resolution).

DEEP IMAGING

Accurate 3D reconstruction as the refraction index of silicone oil is close to that of your live sample medium.

CLEAR IMAGE

Get clear images using Olympus’ deconvolution algorithm.

OSR PRINCIPLE

Through improved detection, specific hardware settings and signal processing, Olympus has realized improved contrast with super resolution. The Olympus SpinSR technology realizes lateral (XY) resolution down to 120 nm.

 

EASE OF USE

Get multi-color imaging without using specific dyes.

HeLa cells derived from human cervical cancer were fixed and stained for α-tublin(microtubules,red) and Hec1(kinetochores, green),respectively. DNA was stained with DAPI(chromosomes,blue). Chromosomes interact with microtubules constituting mitotic spindle via kinetochores assembled on centromere region of chromosomes.
