Aurox Clarity Spinning Disk Confocal Unit Description
The Aurox Clarity Spinning Disk Confocal is a state-of-the-art imaging system designed for high-resolution, real-time observations of live cells and complex biological specimens. Utilizing advanced structured illumination spinning disk confocal technology, it offers rapid imaging with reduced photobleaching and phototoxicity, making it ideal for dynamic live-cell studies. The system features a structured illumination disk configuration, with three patterns to accommodate different confocalities (rather like having three pinhole sizes on a scanning confocal). The pattern can be selected for highest resolution or set with reduced resolution for very weak samples.
When equipped with high numerical aperture (NA) objectives, the Aurox Clarity delivers exceptional optical performance, achieving lateral resolutions around 200-300 nm and axial resolutions of 500-700 nm. The system supports a broad range of excitation wavelengths (350-750 nm) and is compatible with various fluorophores via selectable filter sets.
Detection is performed using high QE 95%+ S-Cmos enabling high-speed imaging with frame rates up to 100 fps. The Visionary software facilitates system configuration, protocol construction for 2D, 3D, time and tile, and acquisition. Data is stored as OME-TIFF files which can be easily downloaded to a variety of processing and reconstruction software.
