Nikon Spinning Disk Microscope

Nikon Spinning Disk/ high content screening system enables capturing of high-quality confocal images at high-speed. The system includes the Yokogawa W1 Spinning Disk with wide field of view. Two discs are integrated with 25µm and 50µm pinholes, for optimal imaging with different objectives. A new pinhole design significantly reduces pinhole crosstalk, which is particularly important with thicker specimens. The system is mounted on the new Nikon motorized fluorescent microscope Ti2E. A Nikon Perfect Focus System (PFS) is included that continuously determines the distance to the sample. Life cell imaging is possible because the system is equipped with an on-stage incubation chamber controlling temperature, CO2-concentration and humidity. The system is equipped with 405/488/561/638 nm lasers. Nikon Spinning Disk is equipped with 2 SCMOS ZYLA cameras for applications requiring simultaneous two channels emission. The system has Piezo Z stage for fast and accurate Z stack imaging. The system includes the NIS Elements software package for multi-dimensional experiments, with JOBS for high content acquisition and analysis, deconvolution, tracking, 3D automatic measurements.
