AION Line-Rescanning Confocal module

Product description

AION linear scanning confocal module for fast imaging of thick tissues

AION is the third generation of our fast Line REscan confocal technology. It provides high-contrast images from thicker specimens such as organoids, tissue samples, plant and animal model organisms. The gentle conditions for your live samples allow AION to excel in long-time-lapse experiments and imaging low-signal samples.

The combination of camera-based detection and a set of filters allows you to acquire your images in both visible (VIS) and near-infrared (NIR). This gives you an improved temporal resolution, high sensitivity and unprecedented signal-to-noise ratio. You get even faster imaging with cleaner results, thanks to additional motorized single-band emission filters.
