New system for high-definition macro confocal image acquisition Comparison of same specimen regions captured by the AZ-C1 and an epi-fluorescence microscope The AZ-C1 eliminates out-of-focus light and flare to deliver highly resolved confocal fluorescence images and optical sections. The AZ-C1 enables high-definition confocal image acquisition during macro observation. Sharp wide field of view images with unprecedentedly high S/N ratios allow for imaging of whole-mount specimens such as embryos and large tissue slices that are commonly used in developmental and systems biology studies. Moreover,...
