BD™ CARV II Laser Free Confocal 360 – 700 nm

The BD™ CARV II Confocal Imager delivers high resolution confocal imaging in an easy to use and cost effective optical package that fits on your existing microscope and CCD camera. High speed multi-point confocal scanning, combined with high quantum efficiency CCD cameras, minimizes photobleaching and allows real-time imaging and recording at up to 100 fps.

A long life arc source coupled to the instrument via an alignment free light guide allows for full spectrum (360nm - 700nm) confocal imaging of virtually any fluorescent probe. Automation of internal multi-position excitation, dichroic and emission filter wheels permits fast multi-dimensional imaging of up to five or more fluorescent probes in the same sample.

The BD™ CARV II Confocal Imager also offers automation of fluorescence recovery after photobleaching (FRAP). The system can be used with application specific CCD cameras together with a variety of commercially available imaging software packages.

Features:

• Spinning Disk Confocal with White light excitation from 360 to 700 nm (incl. DAPI)
• Compatible to most inverted and up-right research microscopes
• Can be used with wide range of CCD-Cameras including EM-CCD
• Works with BD™ IPLab-WIN Software and most other imaging software packages
• Fluorescence Recovery After Photobleaching (FRAP) capabilities
