Olympus

The FV1000 delivers all of the key performance functions required from a confocal laser scanning microscope, minimizes specimen damage during high-speed imaging of living organisms, and accurately captures a full range of related information.

Evolved stability : Diode Laser

Stability

Greater stability, longer service life and lower operating cost are achieved using diode lasers.
Reduced heat generation and noise alleviate operator discomfort.
With increased power, both imaging and laser light stimulation can be done with one laser.

Evolved laser light stimulation : Sim Scanner

Laser Light Stimulationy

Synchronized laser stimulation and imaging with the SIM (SIMultaneous) scanner ensures cellular reactions during or immediately following stimulation are not overlooked.
The stimulation/imaging positions and laser wavelengths can be set separately with two independent beams.
Laser light stimulation position can be changed during imaging.

Evolved basic performance : Dependable Performance

High-precision VBF

Variable Barrier Filter (VBF) for maximally utilizing the grating function.
Thanks to the variable VBF with 2 nm resolution, acquisition
wavelength can be set freely to suit various fluorochromes.
Simple separation of fluorescent cross-talk using the lambda scanning and unmixing functions.

Quantification

Laser power monitoring for stable stimulation.
Stable excitation light via advanced laser intensity feedback system for greater stability.
Measurement of fluorescent intensity during observation using live-plot.

High Sensitivity

Newly designed Analog Accumulation Circuit (AAC).
Uniquely coated filters and dichromatic mirrors enhance sensitivity.
Highly sensitive photomultiplier selected specifically for the FV1000.
Superior optics with minimum optical return loss.
