Having filled the gap in the market for entry-level confocal imaging with its e-C1 microscope system, Nikon Instruments has announced the launch of its e-C1plus package.
Nikon's e-C1plus package has been specifically designed to meet the high demand for confocal imaging in increasingly diverse research applications.
With the addition of a three laser-line option, the new e-C1plus can achieve increased flexibility while remaining affordable and generating unsurpassed fluorescence images.
With three lasers operating at 405, 488 and 543nm, the e-C1plus can capture impressive fluorescence images when used for almost any imaging technique required today, including simultaneous dual-channel fluorescence, DIC, time-lapse recording, and spatial analysis.
Nikon's continual development of ground-breaking optical and electronic technology guarantees images produced by the e-C1plus are of the highest resolution, contrast, and brightness.
To remove problems with crosstalk between channels when using simultaneous imaging, the e-C1plus can be configured to capture sequential channel images frame by frame.
Changing the filter to match fluorescent dyes is quick and simple, enabling the use of the latest probes or dyes available today.
Live 3D images can be captured effortlessly as the settings and procedures required can be viewed in a single window, eliminating the need to switch between multiple windows.
Furthermore, using the simple and intuitive graphical user interface (GUI), experimental set-up, image analysis and processing can all be carried out by the click of a mouse.
