DEACTIVATE: Olympus FV1000 Confocal Microscope by Olympus Life Science

"One feature that came with the software purchased along with this system was a color-coding attribute that allowed us to map neurons along the thickness of the neural tissue. We were able to identify spatial positions of about 10-15 neurons and their relative locations. We purchased this system 3 years ago, and have been very pleased with the image quality compared to an older system from a different manufacturer."

"An awesome piece of equipment! Great images with high AND CLEAR resolutions! Easy to work with and takes less time to capture images than other previous versions."

"Easy to use. The operation system is excellent. Picture is beautiful and good resolution. I would recommend this product for new users and professional users to. Olympus is one of the top manufactures in the world, a leader in microscopy for cell biology and biochemistry."

"I like the flexibility of choosing the scanning area and the software for image analysis. Also the ability to control lasers and filters."

"The FV1000 provides great images, much better than other confocal microscopes that I've used. The software is very intuitive and easy to work with the hardware. Olympus provides great service."

"Olympus provide an easy tutorial to walk you through each step. Simple auto focus feature. Great sales representatives, who help even post-sale."

"This is a product that you need to use for sometime before you get the best use out of it. But that is the same with most microscopes. I noticed minimal bleaching. Got hours of use and tons of data. I absolutely loved the colocalization info that could be collected with the microscope. I would definitely recommend this product."

"Great optics and images can be obtained with experience. It is excellent for limited use/limited number of users but very sensitive to breakdown with multiple users. In addition to this the software is not intuitive."

"Easy to use for data acquisition and analysis with a confocal microscope. Easy to contact and get personal assistance."
