Strikingly Clear Confocal Images

With a Yokogawa CSU-W1 spinning disk unit, the IXplore™ IX85-Spin system helps you acquire high-speed confocal images and conduct more efficient image stitching over a wide area. To help you see even more, TruSight deconvolution algorithms can be applied to improve image resolution, contrast, and dynamic range for strikingly clear 3D images, even at greater observation depths.

	Precise 3D Image Generation at Greater Depths The pinhole geometry of the IXplore™ IX85-Spin system’s Yokogawa spinning disk produces excellent image contrast at greater depths for imaging into thicker samples. Additionally, the IXplore™ IX85-Spin allows you to combine high-NA silicone oil objectives or our new groundbreaking silicone gel multi-immersion objective (LUPLAPO25XS) with a new auto correction collar to create exceptional light gathering and dimensional fidelity. These elements make the IXplore™ IX85-Spin your best choice for imaging live cells at high resolution without sacrificing speed, accuracy, or image quality. Our new LUPLAPO25XS introduces groundbreaking new silicone gel pad technology. See deeper into your samples and reveal structures that were previously out of reach with a high NA and long working distance. With this silicone gel pad objective, you can get the quality of silicone immersion with the useability of a dry objective. The new LUPLAPO25XS enhances workflows for organoids, 3D cell culture, well-plates, and a wide range of applications.
