Benchtop Confocal Performance Improvements

New versions of Fusion add functions and features to enable researchers to expand on the capabilities of their platform, new more powerful workstations which are tested for compatibility with the new software are also available.

Many Fusion features can now be trialed and purchased at anytime, if you need to add functionality to your platform you can do this at anytime, our service sales offices will be happy to help you.

Speed up your experiment ~2 x by using the quad band filter
Ideal for faster live imaging and for large multi-tile XYZ experiments

For an experimental setup of 4 channels Z, at each plane acquire all channels, 3X3 montage and 43 stacks, and sample thickness of 30 µm), The acquisition is 1.9X faster if imaging in widefield mode and 1.7X faster in confocal mode when compared to using single band filters.

This upgrade does not require a return to the factory, and can be carried out in your lab in less than a day.

3D optical sectioning with high background rejection. Eliminates blur.

Allows deep and large tissue imaging at speed for higher productivity.

Image fast dynamic events in thicker samples.

This upgrade does not require a return to the factory, and can be carried out in your lab in less than a day.

Before

Increase productivity by effortlessly selecting only the tiles that need to be acquired on the montage.

Biology is not square, optimize your experiment and only capture the images you need, like our other fusion features you can request a trial licence for our service sales office.

Acquire the planes of interest easily by correcting the tilt in MW plates and slides.

Correct for sample unevenness.

Apply the focus map in single or multiple positions.

The variations of samples and sample prep require a powerful microscope that can adopt in real time to capture the images you need.

Super resolution (SRES) imaging is now truly accessible, thanks to our fast, compact and easy-to-use benchtop microscope, Super resolution can now be activated, this offers a highly effective software-based approach to imaging.

SRES activation key is easy to set up to capture vibrant images quicker
Push past the diffraction limit of ~200nm and reach ~140nm with ease (observe cell structure, protein interactions, membrane fusion, signal transduction events and more).
Reveal hidden detail in your sample with routine fluorescent labels, simpler than other more expensive solutions.
Multi-acquisition mode: laser confocal microscopy and super resolution on the same bench as your samples.
Fast learning curve allows individual users and entire labs to become much more productive, without compromising results.

Confocal

Hear From Our Customers

We image high numbers of thick and large tissue samples demanding a reliable confocal microscope to handle big experiments. BC43 is a true workhorse, requiring minimal experience to obtain high quality images. Being able to put it on a regular bench in our own lab is an efficiency bonus!

Professor Jacco van Rheenen, The Netherlands Cancer Institute.
Our research is focused on the cellular and molecular interactions taking place during normal heart development. To gain insight into these we rely heavily on imaging approaches and the BC43 confocal system has been instrumental to advance our studies. Its low footprint combined with its multi-imaging modalities and plug-and-play features are a perfect match!
