ECHO Spinning-Disk Confocal Microscope
ECHO Confocal is a spinning disk confocal microscope. Compared with traditional confocal and other spinning disk confocal microscopes, it is easier to operate and has faster imaging speed. It is a scientific research tool for living cell observation and rapid fluorescence imaging. Aperbio is ECHO's strategic partner in China. It is a company dedicated to the research and development, production, sales and service of precision medical diagnostic products (diagnostic reagents, instruments), and also provides integrated solutions for clinical testing.
Product Introduction
The Confocal Spinning Disk Confocal blocks out-of-focus light, providing higher-resolution images than traditional widefield microscopes. Confocal technology further improves resolution, making samples clearer and enabling imaging of thicker samples. The system also reduces photobleaching, making it suitable for live cell applications. With a smaller footprint, intuitive software, and an easy-to-view design with fewer cables, redefining the traditional, complex experience of confocal.
Features
1. Faster speed: Compared with laser scanning systems that must scan one point at a time, ECHO spinning disk confocal can capture the entire field of view at once. The advantages of large-scale image scanning and Z-axis stacking are more obvious.
2. Less phototoxicity: Spinning disk confocal is gentler on samples, effectively reducing photobleaching and damage to cells, helping users extend experimental time.
3. More cost-effective: Through simplified design, we have created a confocal system that is more cost-effective than other similar systems.
