The Olympus ASW v2.0 Software Suite enhances the Fluoview FV1000 confocal and FV1000-MPE multiphoton laser scanning microscope systems.
The software improves experiments in neuroscience, cell biology, stem cell research, in vivo imaging, electrophysiology, nanotechnology and retinal imaging and is also appropriate for core laboratory facilities.
The software offers multi-point spatial scanning and stimulation, random mapping scan and pulsed stimulation to improve experiments that use Olympus FV1000 and FV1000-MPE systems.
The software streamlines multi-area time-lapse experiments.
Multi-point scanning allows high-speed stimulation, imaging or bleaching to occur in multiple spines.
The point-to-point speed is less than five milliseconds.
The accuracy of point location is less than +/- 0.1 micron.
Random mapping scan is an imaging/stimulation method followed by computer reconstruction.
No two adjacent points are ever stimulated sequentially.
Random mapping scans reconstruct XY and XYT data from acquired data.
They also help reconstruct electrical activity images.
Pulsed stimulation as short as 0.1 millisecond may be applied to uncaging experiments.
