Microscope Confocal Module

Andor Technology Ltd. (Belfast, Northern Ireland), an Oxford Instruments company, has announced the Revolution DSD2, a compact, laser-free confocal module. With the addition of Andor’s CMOS camera technology, the module delivers a large field of view and high dynamic range. The DSD2 uses a broadband white light source instead of lasers, enabling the image of any fluor by selection of filters.

Tested with a number of microscopes, including fluorescence macroscopes and stereomicroscopes, the Revolution DSD2 produces high-contrast 3D images. Now with three confocal settings, the DSD2 also provides flexibility for use across the full magnification range.
