Neuroscience

Life Science Research Application

Applications: Neuroscience Imaging

Neuroscience is the study of nerve function, structure, and development. Researchers need to observe single cells as well as the entire brain, on the surface and deep within the tissue. They also need to capture morphological changes and stimulus responses using living samples.

Olympus has a range of microscope solutions to meet the needs of neuroscience research. Our virtual slide scanner system offers the flexibility to view high-resolution digital imaging of the entire slide glass specimen at the same time as the magnified images. The FLUOVIEW confocal laser scanning microscopes enable continuous high-resolution multicolor fluorescence imaging and macro-to-micro observation through highly accurate image lamination. The spinning disk system is designed for live cell imaging with its confocal super resolution microscope, providing high-speed imaging with reduced phototoxicity. Our confocal microscopes capture the fine structure and morphological change of neurons and the deep structure of tissues with super resolution and clear three-dimensional images. They are also capable of capturing the high-speed responses of membrane potential and calcium sensitive dyes. Olympus also offers multiphoton laser scanning microscopes that can capture high-speed reactions and observe deep tissue.

IXplore SpinSRShow Description
IXplore SpinSR

The IXplore SpinSR system is our confocal super resolution microscope optimized for 3D imaging of live cell specimens. Like the IXplore Spin system, it has a spinning disk system for fast 3D imaging while limiting phototoxicity and bleaching. However, it achieves super resolution images down to 120 nm XY and enables you to switch between widefield, confocal, and super resolution with the click of a button.

  • Sharp, clear super resolution imaging down to 120 nm XY, owing to Olympus Super Resolution (OSR)
  • Prolonged cell viability in confocal time-lapse imaging due to less phototoxicity and bleaching
  • Use two cameras simultaneously to achieve fast, two-color super-resolution imaging
  • Super resolution imaging with the world’s first plan apochromat objectives with a numerical aperture (NA) of 1.5*
* As of November 2018. According to Olympus research.

IXplore SpinShow Description
IXplore Spin

The IXplore Spin system features a spinning disk confocal unit that enables fast 3D image acquisition, a large field of view, and prolonged cell viability in time-lapse experiments. Researchers can use it to perform rapid 3D confocal imaging with high resolution and contrast at greater depths for imaging into thicker samples. The spinning disk also helps to cut down on photobleaching and phototoxicity of samples upon excitation.

  • Real-time controller (U-RTCE) helps optimize the device’s speed and precision during automated acquisition
  • TruFocus™ Z-drift compensation system maintains focus for each frame
  • Precise 3D imaging with improved light collection using X Line™ objectives
  • Upgrade to the IXplore SpinSR super resolution system as your research progresses
