The C2+ is designed as an essential microscopy tool for the laboratory, providing powerful and robust imaging capabilities. The high-efficiency scan heads and detectors, coupled with Nikon’s unrivaled optics, provide superior confocal images. The high-speed galvano scanners, operating at rates of up to 100 fps*, enable even the fast-beating motion of cardiac muscles to be captured with precision. The system has three simultaneous channels with an additional Transmitted light channel. Also a tunable variable bandwidth 32 channel spectral detector for research that requires spectra Imaging in addition to the standard detector.

Features:

• RGB and Far-Red imaging capabilities with High-Definition Diascopic DIC images
