Product catalog summary
Product Overview
The document provides technical specifications and operational details for a super-resolution spinning-disk confocal microscope system developed by Yokogawa Electric Corporation. It highlights the capabilities of the SoRa disk, which can be integrated into the CSU-W1 system to enhance imaging resolution.

Specifications
  • Excitation and Observation Wavelengths: 405nm - 640nm for excitation and 420nm - 680nm for observation.
  • Field of View: Depends on the magnification changer for SoRa.
  • External Light/NIR Port: Cannot be used simultaneously with the SoRa disk.
  • Dimensions and Weight: 425(W)×301.1(L)×122.5(H) mm, weighing 13kg.
  • Resolution: XY/Z resolution of 150nm/320nm, improved to 120nm/300nm after deconvolution.

Operational Features
  • Microscope Connection: Uses a manufacturer-specific adapter.
  • Light Path Switching: Three electronically switched light paths with magnifications of 1x, 2.8x, and 4.0x.
  • Magnification Changer for SoRa: Allows switching between regular confocal and super-resolution observation.

Principle of Operation
The system uses a microlens array and pinhole configuration to enhance image resolution. The microlens reduces the focal points projected onto the pinhole by half, achieving an estimated 1.4x improvement over regular confocal microscopes. Deconvolution further enhances resolution to approximately twice the optical limit.

Applications
  • Real-time live cell imaging with reduced phototoxicity and bleaching.
  • Super-resolution imaging without specific sample preparation.
  • Deep position observation through optical sectioning.

Safety Precautions
The product is classified as a class 3B laser product when used with a laser light source. Users are advised to avoid direct exposure to the laser beam.

Confocal Scanner Unit CSU-W1 SoRa-2

Principle of super resolution exit. laser XY resolution has been improved by approximately 1.4x the optical limit based on spinning-disk confocal technology. Furthermore, a final resolution approximately twice the optical limit is realized through deconvolution. Micro-lens array disk Pinhole Objective lens SoRa disk Specimen Pinhole Objective lens Specimen [ Principle explanation ] Ideal for super-resolution live cell imaging Just like the CSU,high-speed real time imaging can be performed with super-resolution. In addition, live cell imaging is possible, reducing bleaching and phototoxicity....
