The newest addition to the Yokogawa CSU spinning disk family enables Super-resolution. The new CSU-W1 SoRa is the best tool for super resolution imaging. Just like the CSU, high-speed real time imaging can be performed with super-resolution. By modifying the Nipkow disk with a (patented) micro lens pinhole array the resulting MLPHA-disk – or Super-resolution disk – enables optical photon reassignment. Resolution improvement (latera: 150 nm; axial: 450 nm) is achieved without additional computation and with the same speed, life cell quality and easy-to-use handling as one might expect from a spinning disk system.
Effective "Field of View" depending on the SoRa magnification changer
magnification: selectable 1.0x, 2.8x and 4.0x
4.0x for 60x objective
2,8x for 100x objective
XY/Z resolution (optical super resolution) 150nm / 320nm
XY/Z resolution (after deconvolution) 120nm / 300nm
XY resolution of approx. 120nm
XY resolution has been improved by approximately 1.4x the optical limit based on spinning-disk confocal technology. Furthermore, a final resolution approximately twice the optical limit is realized through deconvolution.
Live SR uses structured light illumination, combined with software algorithms, and mounted on a Spinning Disk Confocal to achieve a horizontal resolution of up to 105nm. Compared with other super-resolution methods, it has no restrictions on specific fluorophors and ensures lower photo-toxicity, which is particularly suitable for high-resolution imaging of live cells.
Live-SR is compatible with CSU-X1 and CSU-W1.
