Industry News: Discover the Latest Advances in Light Microscopy

Olympus is showcasing its latest microscopes and accessories at Analytica this year: hall A2, booth 309, including a presentation on the latest high-speed multiphoton imaging system – the FluoView FVMPE-RS. At the booth, visitors can also experience the limitless possibilities of ‘open source’ microscopy and advances in environmental control for live cell imaging.

Hear about new avenues of exploration for in vivo imaging
The new multiphoton excitation system FluoView FVMPE-RS presents a powerful tool for life science research, achieving fundamental insights into the intricate and complex workings of biological systems. The system enables high-precision, ultra-fast scanning and stimulation, allowing researchers to see deep within specimens, capture images and take measurements at the highest speeds. In his presentation (BIOTECH Forum, 2nd April, 2pm) entitled “The new FluoView FVMPE-RS: an advanced multiphoton microscope for imaging with high speed and extended IR range”, Olympus application specialist Dr Bjoern Sieberer will explain the capabilities of the new system in detail.

Experience the possibilities of open source microscopy
Visitors to the booth can explore the unprecedented flexibility of the customisable IX3 ‘open source’ frames, where bespoke systems are effortlessly created by exchanging optical modules into an accessible infinite light path. Expanding the capabilities of the IX3, a range of accessories are available, and the high-end IX83 frame will be optimised for advanced live cell imaging with the cellVivo incubation system, and cell^tirf laser module. Centred on workflow ergonomics, the modular and flexible cellVivo is based on a “one size fits all” concept with adaptors for various frame types, making it ideal for a host of advanced live cell imaging applications.

Chat to scientists about their unusual research
With optics and DIC capability enabling resolving power beyond that of a typical light microscope, an Olympus materials science system has found an unusual application within the area of reproductive toxicology. Visitors to the booth will have the chance to speak with researchers about their use of the LEXT for the morphological analysis of sperm and other pathological specimens, as a potential alternative to scanning electron microscopy.
