BC43 WF and BM42 – Benchtop Laser-based Microscopes

Discover the new additions to our benchtop microscope range, ideal for an entry level system and with so much growth potential!

BC43 WF enables hassle-free, high-quality widefield fluorescence imaging, and is fully upgradable in the field to allow users to extend into confocal and super-resolution microscopy as requirements or budgets increase.

BM42 is Andor's most affordable widefield microscope. It matches BC43 performance and imaging quality with its laser-based widefield system, also provides an upgrade path to widefield Super-resolution (confocal upgrade not available).

Add ClearView™ GPU digital confocal to both these units to remove sample blur, enhancing resolution and ensuring best quality images.

Laser Engines

Andor's HLE is a fourth-generation High Power Laser Engine that offers exceptional stability, performance, and flexibility. Designed with the latest multimode laser diode technologies, HLE can combine up to seven multimode laser lines in a single chassis and up to ten lines in a dual configuration.

HLE benefits from lower coherence multimode lasers and a wide selection of wavelengths, from 405 to 785nm with power levels ranging from 400 to 2500 mW. Furthermore, HLE supports direct modulation (2-100%) and serial neutral density filters, making is a versatile solution for a wide range of OEM bioimaging applications.

HLE also incorporates active power and thermal management systems, ensuring long-term stability and reliability. Furthermore, HLE can be outfitted with two or three fast (milliseconds) galvo-switched fibre outputs providing further flexibility to easily integrate the same laser engine with different inputs.

Specifically optimized for Borealis® illumination, HLE benefits from enhanced throughput and superb uniform illumination when coupled with the Beam Conditioning Unit (BCU).
