Three-laser Entry-level Confocal ­Microscope System

Having successfully filled the gap in the market for entry-level confocal imaging with its e-C1 microscope system, Nikon Instruments has announced the launch of its e-C1plus package. This has been specifically designed to meet the high demand for confocal imaging in increasingly diverse research applications. With the addition of a three laser-line option, the new e-C1plus can achieve ­increased flexibility, whilst remaining affordable and generating unsurpassed fluorescence images. With three lasers operating at 405, 488 and 543 nm, the e-C1plus can capture impressive fluorescence images when used for almost any imaging technique required today, including simultaneous dual-channel fluorescence, DIC, time-lapse recording, and spatial analysis. Nikons continual development of ground-breaking optical and electronic technology guarantees images produced by the new system are of the highest resolution, contrast, and brightness.
