Imaging Stability

The frame architecture and focus drive design of the IXplore system offer enhanced rigidity that reduces the impact of vibration and temperature. It maintains desired positions along the X-, Y-, and Z-axes to facilitate reliable time-lapse and multipoint imaging. When combined with the Olympus ultrasonic stage (IX3-SSU) and TruFocus system, the IXplore TIRF microscope system can capture high-precision, multipoint time-lapse images that are aligned and in focus.

	TIRF Objectives Total internal reflection fluorescence (TIRF) is facilitated by a wide range of objectives featuring a high signal-to-noise ratio and a correction collar to adjust for cover glass thickness and temperature. Our corrected plan apochromat objectives with an NA of 1.5 help you acquire uniform high-quality images with a large field of view. Take advantage of Olympus' remarkable TIRF objective with the world’s highest NA, 1.7. As of November, 2018. According to Olympus research. Learn more about our high NA objectives
