Features and Benefits of the BD CARV II™ Confocal Imager
| Feature |
Benefit |
| Multipoint scanning at 1000 scans per second. |
- Real time confocal imaging up to 100 frames per second or more.
- Use of CCD camera as a detector allows greater sensitivity and better signal-to-noise ratio images.
- Binocular viewing of confocal image allows easy set up and color viewing.
|
| Low intensity, high frequency scanning. Minimizes photobleaching. |
- Minimizes phototoxicity.
- Allows long-term recording of biological events.
|
| Mercury/metal halide light source with liquid light guide delivery. |
- Permits full spectrum (360–700 nm) confocal imaging.
- No light alignment required.
- Long lamp life (1500 h) and low maintenance cost.
|
| Built-in automated multi-position excitation, dichroic, and emission filter wheels. |
- Permits fast multidimensional confocal imaging of up to five or more fluorescent probes in the same sample.
- Uses commercially available filter sets.
|
| Adapts to most major models of fluorescence microscopes. |
- Upgrade your fluorescence microscope to a personal confocal system.
|
| Movable spinning disk and field aperture for selective illumination. |
- Permits switching between wide-field and confocal imaging.
- Allows Fluorescence Recovery After Photobleaching (FRAP) experimentation.
|
| Full automation with RS232 control. |
- Operated by many popular imaging software packages such as BD IPLab™, Metamorph, Image Pro, and others.
- Allows multidimensional acquisition and analysis including kinetics, co-localization, 1D–5D rendering, ratio imaging, FRAP, and FRET.
