Dragonfly Confocal Microscope System

Dragonfly high-speed confocal microscopy systems provide a combination of speed, sensitivity, confocality and resolution. Our multi-modal imaging solutions improve your understanding of dynamic events in living samples, and boost your productivity when imaging large specimens and tissue samples.

Dragonfly 200: Compact size available for inverted and upright microscopes. Its flexibility is the key to deliver imaging across a broad range of biological models and associated experimental needs. An exceptional platform for deep, fast, sensitive, and gentle imaging.
Dragonfly 400: a step up from the 200 series, utilizing the proven HLE (High-Power Laser engine) and the 3D super-resolution Module, Dragonfly 400 expands the application range to super-resolution SMLM and 3D SMLM with DNA-PAINT. Additionally, Dragonfly 400 offers an increase in productivity in time-consuming applications, such as spatial omics applications and large sample imaging.
Dragonfly 600: The ultimate confocal. It adds to the Dragonfly 200 and 400 solutions, the proprietary B-TIRF imaging modality and power density lens and zoom illumination optics. Perform TIRF imaging and single-molecule imaging with confocal and TIRF with resolutions that can be as low as 6 nm. (**)
