CSU-X Spinning Disk Confocal by Intelligent Imaging Innovations (3i)

3i combines the Yokogawa CSU-X1 with proprietary high speed blanking electronics to achieve imaging speeds up to 2000 fps. The microlens double-Nipkow disk design of the spinning disk is ideal for high-speed 3D live cell imaging. Powerful and stable solid state lasers from the 3i LaserStack™ are coupled through the microlens pinholes of the spinning disk providing strong excitation light and high signal-to-noise images. SlideBook™ software synchronizes electron multiplication CCD cameras with spinning disk speed and laser excitation blanking to provide maximum signal with minimal photobleaching.
