Nikon A1R Confocal Laser Microscope System
| The Nikon A1R is a modular confocal system consisting of a separate scan head, standard 4 PMT detector module plus an additional PMT for pseudo-DIC imaging, control module, laser module, and spectral detector module. The A1R has a standard high-resolution confocal mode up to 4096 x 4096 pixels as well as a high-speed resonant mode capable of scanning 230 frames per sec at 512 x 64 pixels. In addition to laser-based, confocal image acquisition, this Nikon platform also utilizes a high-end digital camera for non-confocal image acquisition.
The updated A1R has a new multi-detector unit with 2 GaAsp PMT detectors to give brighter signals, enhanced signal-to-noise ratio, and less phototoxicity. The updated A1R has the ability to perform Enhanced Resolution algorithms on point scanning confocal datasets to further increase resolution of images, and also Retirement/Replacement of Confocal Workstations allows for future expansion and faster processing, including GPU 3D Rendering.
