The Andor Revolution DSD2 is a simple confocal device delivering extraordinary imaging performance.
Its simplicity lies in a compact patented optical design and laser-free operation, providing ease of retrofit to an existing fluorescence microscope, or an easy addition to most new models currently available. The benefits are an affordable confocal device for your own laboratory, eliminating the need to use core facilities, or if you run a core facility, you can increase your capacity and offer a lower cost solution with a DSD2. The ease of use is such that you will be imaging in no time, with minimal training required.
The simple design of the DSD2 means that it can be mounted to inverted and upright microscopes and fluorescence stereomicroscopes and macroscopes. With three confocal sectioning options, you can choose the optimal setting for your sample or magnification. This makes the DSD2 probably the most versatile confocal device on the market, addressing the broadest range of sample types. With no fixed laser wavelengths to limit you, you have freedom to choose the best wavelength choice for your research. Fixed or live, there is no limit to the possibilities.
Features:
- Unique Disk Design - Delivers images of high contrast with high dynamic range for outstanding results. Even with thick samples.
- Confocal flexibility - Three confocal sectioning modes to address all magnifications and provide freedom to select best match for sample
- Large field of view - Image large samples or larger numbers of cells to increase productivity
- Broad spectrum, laser free - 370 – 700nm excitation with full flexibility of filter choice
- Easy alignment and low maintenance - Minimal running costs for product longevity.
- Optimized software and algorithms - Up to 22 frames per second real-time confocal imaging for high productivity or live cell imaging. Intuitive control for fast operation and minimal training
- Real-time control and viewing - Switch viewing mode between widefield and confocal with one mouse click to ease locating sample
- Confocal and Widefield modes - Use DSD2 to image even weakly fluorescent samples which are difficult to see in confocal.
- Microscope agnostic, including stereo and macroscopes - Image using your preferred microscope according to your sample requirements
- By-pass mode - Remove the disk for higher speed fluorescence imaging
