Dear Colleagues, We would like to invite you to a NIKON seminar dedicated to the new super-resolution confocal microscopy (11.05.2023 at 14:00; SAF 113, Sir Alexander Fleming Building): https://www.imperial.ac.uk/events/162351/reveal-new-confocal-imaging-potenti... Confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) is an indispensable technology throughout the scientific community. By its principle, CLSM allows fluorophore emission detection (typically by a single-element detector like a photomultiplier tube) passing through a pinhole to reject out-of-focus light. By this means, the pinhole (usually set at 1AU) is primarily known for providing an optical section and therefore an improvement in the image signal-to-noise ratio (S/N). Closing the pinhole yields a resolution improvement but with a trade-off of heavy signal loss causing a reduction of the image S/N. To overcome the compromise between an increase in resolution and S/N, Nikon developed a new detector for AX igniting new confocal imaging potential. Based on the imaging scanning microscopy (ISM) technology, Nikon SPatial ARray Confocal detector (NSPARC) equipped with an array detector allows outstanding acquisition of super-resolved (SR) images equivalent to 0.2AU with S/N corresponding to 1AU. NSPARC detector can be a standalone detector or integrated with an additional confocal detector unit bringing extremely flexible hardware configuration. Combined with AX featuring the largest field of view in the market and gentle fast acquisition, NSPARC provides a simple acquisition, and unprecedented SR image quality, beyond confocal imaging. The seminar is a part of our NIKON demo: https://www.imperial.ac.uk/events/161521/nikon-confocal/ We still have a few available time slots in case you want to test the system and obtain more data. Thank you in advance for your attention, Volodymyr
