  • High Definition: Capable of 1024 x 1024 pixel imaging, it provides high-quality images at lower magnifications.
  • Advanced Detection: High-sensitivity detectors ensure accurate separation of overlapping spectra and reduce autofluorescence.
  • Software Integration: NIS-Elements C software offers a unified platform for acquisition and analysis with tools for denoising, object tracking, and real-time measurement.
Applications: Ideal for high-throughput analysis, live cell imaging, and multi-dimensional dynamic imaging, supporting time-lapse and multi-stage position experiments.
Technological Advancements: Innovations include a large FOV, high-speed resonant scanning, and enhanced resolution software, evolving to meet research needs.
Optional Accessories: Modules for photostimulation, TIRF, and epi-fluorescence, along with a Perfect Focus System for maintaining focus during long observations.
Conclusion: The A1 HD25/A1R HD25 confocal microscope represents a significant advancement in imaging technology, offering enhanced capabilities for detailed and efficient scientific research.
Specifications: The system features a resonant scanner with a resonance frequency of 7.8 kHz and a galvano scanner, supporting various pixel sizes and scanning speeds, with a maximum of 1024 x 1024 pixels at 15 fps and up to 720 fps for 512 x 16 pixels. The zoom range is continuously variable from 1x to 1000x, with multiple scan modes available.
Image Acquisition and Detection: Includes a dichroic mirror and supports a low-angle incidence method with eight positions. The spectral detector unit offers 32 channels with a wavelength detection range of 400 - 750 nm and a resolution variable in 0.25 nm steps.
