AION Line-Rescanning Confocal module

Product description

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.
