In response to increasing demand for live cell confocal imaging,
Nikon Instruments has introduced the C2 plus, an enhanced version of its
C2 Confocal Laser Point Scanning Microscope for entry and mid-level
confocal imaging. Benefitting from faster scanning speeds, the new
modular C2 plus also utilises the latest version 4.0 of NIS-Elements
software to provide increased accuracy and sensitivity in image capture.
Offering
all the advantages of the C2, with its excellent hardware and software
stability coupled with first class optics, the C2 plus provides improved
galvano mode scanning speeds which are more than two times faster; up
to a maximum 100fps (512x32) and 8 fps (512x512, bidirectional).
NIS-Elements
version 4.0 now provides firmware control as well as improved image
quality, dynamics and interaction, providing a consistent, universal
interface and software environment for core imaging facilities and a
variety of applications and techniques. Faster 3D image acquisition is
possible, as well as improved high content screening functions for live
cell observations and fully 2D interactive tracking.
The C2 plus
can be coupled with Nikon's new upright Eclipse Ni series as well as
Nikon's inverted, physiological and macro imaging microscopes, offering
the advantage of just one universal software platform. Together with
Nikon's high numerical aperture CFI60 series objectives, optimised for
live cell imaging with excellent resolution and brightness, they offer
the ideal combination for confocal imaging.
