Overview

In the age of big data, it is important that key laboratory instruments such as the confocal microscope keep pace with experimental demand.

Introduction

Here, we discuss factors to consider that can maximise the throughput of your confocal instrument.

Methods

Field of View (FOV), optimising resolution across the field of view, detector sensitivity, tiled acquisition, scan speed

Results

Nikon's AX/AX R confocal microscope, with the largest field-of-view on both inverted and upright microscope stands available (25mm diagonal), more specimens fit in one FOV with more objective lens choices than ever before. Coupled with scanning sizes up to 8192 x 8192 pixels, sampling beyond the optical diffraction limit is possible even at low magnifications with the AX/AX R. Collect more data in every image, and at faster rates.
