PerkinElmer UltraView VoX Spinning Disc Confocal
The PerkinElmer UltraView VoX is an optimum system for live cell imaging. It consists of Yokogawa® CSU-X1 spinning disk head, two Hamamatsu EM-CCD camera, ProSync control box, photoKinesis unit etc.
Manufacturer: Perkin Elmer
Model Name: UntraView Vox
Applications: Brightfield microscopy, Fluorescence microscopy
Instrument Overview: PE Spinning disk confocal microscope collects multiple points simultaneously rather than scanning a single point at a time, which produces not only the high speed but also protect biological sample with a lower dose of laser light. With additional benefits from the EMCCD camera, the Ultraview spinning disk confocal is highly suitable for live cell imaging of weakly expressing samples which are prone to photobleaching. This system is recommended for live cell imaging and high Speed imaging, as well as advanced F-techniques: FRAP, FRET, ete.
