Microscope overview Spinning disk confocal microscopy (SDC) is a technique well suited for observation of cells and organoids. Compared to conventional widefield microscopy, SDC provides instant optical sectioning, allowing the imaging of cells and shallow tissues (typically a maximum of a few tens of micrometres deep) in 3D. Compared to laser scanning confocal microscopes (such as Leica Stellaris, ZEISS Airyscan), the Dragonfly SDC provides much faster acquisition (up to 400 fps, with limit…

System overview The 3i Marianas SDC spinning disk confocal microscope is a fast imaging system which provides a trade-off between confocality, resolution and speed. It is an inverted microscope ideal for live cell applications which require fast acquisition speeds rather than high resolution images. The scanning unit achieves confocality by directing light through a spinning disk with many small pinholes. Images are then acquired with a sensitive EMCCD which allows for very small exposure time…

Microscope overview The 3i Marianas SDC II super-resolution spinning disk confocal microscope is a fast imaging system which provides a trade-off between confocality, resolution and speed, well suited for the observation of dynamics in living cells and small organisms. The Marianas SDC provides fast acquisition (up to ~100fps, with limited ROI, ~30FPS full frame), and with lower phototoxicity and bleaching. A spinning disk with multiple small pinholes is installed between the light source and …

bioimaging — 2026-05-26T11:47:46+02:00

Microscope overview The UltraMicroscope Blaze is a lightsheet for large cleared samples system with dual sided illumination, capable of using three beams per side. This allows for uniform imaging with minimal shadows (in good sample clearing conditions). Equipped with three objectives (1.1x, 4x and 12x) and internal magnifications of 0.6x, 1x, 1.66x and 2.5x, this system is capable of going from whole organs to single cell level. There are 4 laser lines in the Blaze, 488, 561, 640 and 785 nm, a…
