The Olympus FluoView™ FV1000 is a next-generation imaging system designed for high-resolution, confocal observation of both fixed and living cells. The FV1000 offers advances in confocal system performance while providing the speed and sensitivity required for live cell imaging with minimal risk of damage to living specimens.
In addition, the FV1000 offers a revolutionary synchronized laser scanning system called the SIM Scanner. While one laser stimulates, the second laser simultaneously provides high-resolution imaging. This coordination of laser stimulation and imaging makes the FV1000 an ideal choice for FRAP, FLIP and photoactivation.
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.
