The newly developed Nikon Spatial Array Confocal (NSPARC) detector utilizes an ultra-low noise detector array to collect a two-dimensional image at each scanned point. This method of image scanning microscopy (ISM) improves signal-to-noise ratio by increasing the available signal level while simultaneously allowing imaging with lower excitation power.
Single-photon sensitivity and array detection extend the capabilities of the AX system by revealing unseen details in every image, while array detection pushes the boundaries of resolution beyond the theoretical limits.
NSPARC’s array detection provides spatial sampling of the confocal point spread function in every pixel. This method detects information that can be utilized to extract enhanced resolution performance both laterally and axially. Built-in variable emission optics increase flexibility to allow users to replicate the function of a pinhole. This means the ability to prioritize enhanced optical sectioning or increased overall signal collection depending upon specific experimental needs.
The variable emission optics allow Nikon to offer many compatible low and high mag objectives to match specimens. This includes silicon immersion objectives which minimize refractive index mismatches, improving overall system performance.
Coupled with the AX/AX R's ultra-large 25mm FOV, the system supports a wide selection of objectives capable of obtaining image data from large overviews down to extremely fine details, which can then be measured and analyzed.
