1 Confocal Microscope Confocal Microscope C2

2 Confocal Microscope An essential microscopy laboratory instrument The C2 confocal microscope system comprises a new generation of Nikon confocal instruments designed to be essential laboratory microscopy tools. Built on a reputation of incredible stability and operational simplicity coupled with superior optical technologies, the C2 is the perfect tool for a new microscope, or as a new accessory to a Nikon imaging system. Large Image Seminal Vesicle Ejaculatory Bulb Large Field-of-View Imaging and 3D Reconstruction C2 and Nikon's imaging software NIS-Elements allow the acquisition of multiple channels over several stage positions and in Z or time lapse. This produces large field of view data sets that are automatically stitched together by the software to produce large, high resolution images. High numerical aperture objectives at high magnifications can be used with motorized XY stages to produce large FOV data sets showing morphology and sharp images.

3 Image Quality Nikon's unprecedented optics and a time-proven, highly efficient optical design provide the brightest and sharpest images, at the longest working distances. High functionality Imaging software NIS-Elements enables intuitive operation of all Nikon hardware devices and peripherals. The C2 in combination with motorized XYZ microscope stages allows acquisition and reconstruction of multiple stage positions and volume reconstructions. NIS-Elements also provides numerous processing and analysis functions for data extraction from acquisition. Further, NIS-Elements controls all Nikon devices, including CCD cameras, so multi-mode data sets (e.g., confocal and widefield CCD TIRF images) can be obtained in the same experiment. Multimode capability All Nikon hardware is controlled by the same software one software package controls it all, and even at the same time! You can do confocal, widefield, TIRF, photoactivation...acquisition, processing, analysis, presentation all in one software package. Users can easily learn how to control different imaging systems with a common interface and workflow. Setting: Easy-to-recognize display for setting lasers, detectors, etc. Simple GUI: Simple display of fundamental image acquisition settings Scanning parameter settings High efficiency scanning heads and detectors With the convenient, small scan head size, the C2 fits all Nikon microscopes, and can easily be moved between microscopes. The C2 employs high precision mirrors and optically ideal circular pinholes, and separates the detectors to isolate sources of heat and noise, enabling low-noise, high contrast and high quality confocal imaging. The spectral detector of the C2 enables high speed multi-channel imaging using simultaneous 32-channel acquisition. Signal loss has been minimized while imaging of fluorescence spectra in real colors is possible by a host of electronic and optical innovations for accurately correcting spectral data. High-performance optics CFI Apochromat S Series These high numerical aperture (NA) objectives are ideal for confocal imaging with correction of chromatic aberrations over a wide wavelength range, from ultraviolet to infrared. Transmission is increased through the use of Nikon s exclusive Nano Crystal Coat technology. CFI Apochromat TIRF Series These objectives boast an unprecedented NA of 1.49 (using a standard coverslip and immersion oil), the highest resolution among Nikon objectives. The temperature correction ring corrects image quality affected by temperature change in the range of 23 C to 37 C. High definition diascopic DIC images CFI Apo 40xWI S, NA1.25 (left) CFI Apo LWD 40xWI S, NA1.15 (middle) CFI Apo 60x Oil S, NA1.4 (right) ndtime, ndxyz: Intuitive settings for time schedule and Z series parameters, etc. Unmixing Optical Config: Multiple setting parameters (such as camera settings and channel setup) can be extracted from acquired images and registered for reuse. Unmixing The C2 can acquire simultaneous 3-channel fluorescence or simultaneous 3-channel + diascopic DIC observation. High quality DIC images and fluorescence images can be superimposed to aid in morphological analysis. Spectral analysis GUI: Numerous functions for analysis and unmixing of acquired spectrums are provided, while spectral profiles of general dyes and fluorescent proteins are preprogrammed.

Both reagents have green fluorescence and emission maxima that are only a few nanometres apart. The picture shows the slide after spectral unmixing using NIS Elements' powerful unmixing algorithms, providing clearly distinguishable features. 2D image of FluoCells (R) #4 from Molecular Probes (Invitrogen).

4 Flexibility The C2 can be coupled with upright, inverted, physiological, and macro imaging microscopes and has options for combinations with various top-notch experiment systems. All can be controlled with NIS-Elements software.

Scanner set Controller AZ-C2 Macro confocal microscope system With a high-definition large field of view, specimens larger than 1cm can be acquired with unprecedentedly high signal-to-noise ratio. The AZ-C2 allows for imaging of whole-mount specimens, such as embryos, in a single acquisition, up to 4000x4000 pixel resolution, and it can also acquire 32 channel spectral data with C2-SI. It offers a combination of low and high magnification objective lenses, optical zoom and a confocal scanning zoom function, enabling continuous imaging from macro to micro.
