March 2018—Olympus announced the availability of the FV3000 confocal laser scanning microscope in two upright models designed for in vitro and in vivo experiments.
The microscope’s resonant scanner captures video-rate confocal images, without compromising the field of view, at up to 438 frames per second. Olympus TruSpectral detection technology further improves imaging by combining high sensitivity and high accuracy for multichannel spectral imaging.
The FV3000 microscopes allow users to view samples up close as well as in their larger context. With nosepieces that accommodate up to seven objectives and an optimized macro-to-micro light path, users can capture images from 1.25× to 150×. Researchers can also locate regions of interest in a low magnification overview and then switch to a higher magnification to observe fine details. Combined with the system’s stitching algorithm, users can create high-resolution macro images to show their samples in context. With an intuitive and adaptable user interface, the FV3000 supports complete workflows from image acquisition to processing and analysis. Particular attention has been paid to the needs of cell biology, cancer research, and stem cell research.
