The evolved FV1000

The FV1000 delivers all of the key performance functions required from a confocal laser scanning microscope, minimizes specimen damage during high-speed imaging of living organisms, and accurately captures a full range of related information.

Evolved stability : Diode Laser

Stability

• Greater stability, longer service life and lower operating cost are achieved using diode lasers.
• Reduced heat generation and noise alleviate operator discomfort.
• With increased power, both imaging and laser light stimulation can be done with one laser.

Evolved laser light stimulation : Sim Scanner

Laser Light Stimulationy

• Synchronized laser stimulation and imaging with the SIM (SIMultaneous) scanner ensures cellular reactions during or immediately following stimulation are not overlooked.
• The stimulation/imaging positions and laser wavelengths can be set separately with two independent beams.
• Laser light stimulation position can be changed during imaging.

Evolved basic performance : Dependable Performance

High-precision VBF

• Variable Barrier Filter (VBF) for maximally utilizing the grating function.
• Thanks to the variable VBF with 2 nm resolution, acquisition
  wavelength can be set freely to suit various fluorochromes.
• Simple separation of fluorescent cross-talk using the lambda scanning and unmixing functions.

Quantification

• Laser power monitoring for stable stimulation.
• Stable excitation light via advanced laser intensity feedback system for greater stability.
• Measurement of fluorescent intensity during observation using live-plot.

High Sensitivity

• Newly designed Analog Accumulation Circuit (AAC).
• Uniquely coated filters and dichromatic mirrors enhance sensitivity.
• Highly sensitive photomultiplier selected specifically for the FV1000.
• Superlative optics with minimum optical return loss.
