Speed  

• Image formation is obtained from a CCD camera that allows full frame images to be acquired at up to 15 frames per second. The DSU is excellent for live-cell applications where speed of acquisition and minimal phototoxicity is paramount.  
• A CCD camera is used for image acquisition allowing full frame, high resolution imaging at up to 15 f.p.s.  

Small Footprint  

• The DSU mounts off the back of the BX51, BX61 or IX2 conserving valuable bench space on either side of the microscope frame.  

Motorized control  

• Disk control is fully motorized allowing a computer to easily engage the disk into the lightpath and select wavelengths via the included filter changer.  
• Fully motorized disk operation and wavelength selection allows computer control and easy switching between confocal and brightfield techniques.  
• DSU is powered by the microscope's power supply saving important bench space and maintaining cost effectiveness.  

UV fluorescence excitation capable  

• DSU optical design is optimized for 350nm excitation allowing excellent performance from near UV to near IR. DSU accepts standard Olympus filter cubes for excellent system flexibility.  

Flexible optics  

• Five disks are available of varying slit width and spacing allowing the user to optimize disk performance to different objective numerical apertures and specimen thicknesses.  
• Confocal images can be collected with objectives from 10x to 100x.  
• Disk switch-outs are easy to perform.  
• DSU filter turret has six positions, and can accept up to 5 different fluorescence filter cubes for excellent system flexibility.  
• Illumination system includes a field stop to control the area of the specimen that is illuminated.
