Follow this Equipment

Combining the advantages of confocal imaging with the versatility of conventional live cell microscopes.

The Nikon LiveScan Swept Field Confocal Microscope (SFC) enables dynamic live cell confocal imaging through an innovative new optical design that combines pinhole and slit scanning modes into one microscope. Slit scanning produces faster acquisition, while pinhole mode produces higher spatial resolution. Now researchers have the imaging power and flexibility to choose the scanning feature that best suits the application at hand.
