Optimized for Live Cell Imaging

Olympus has introduced the FluoView FV1200 confocal laser scanning microscope which is optimized for live cell imaging. The system combines the accuracy of the newly engineered IX83 frame with enhanced fluorescence sensitivity and simultaneous laser stimulation of cells, making it ideal for advanced life science applications such as FRAP, FLIP and photo-activation.

In particular, the highly-reflective, silver-coated galvanometer scanning mirrors and dual channel GaAsP FluoView PMT module both act to maximize light transfer and detection. This allows for reduced laser power, protecting against the effects of photobleaching and phototoxicity.
