Are you an early-stage researcher or an experienced microscopist and would you like to increase your productivity in the lab while not wasting your time? Would you like to obtain high-quality images of your samples by pushing only one button?
Let’s try our new Andor BC43 microscope!
AndorBC43 is a spinning-disk-based flexible benchtop microscope allowing routine imaging from brightfield to confocal without the hassle! It has its own light tight lid and inbuilt anti-vibration board, so you don’t need any darkroom or a separate optical table!
Confocal imaging …
Andor BC43 captures amazing CONFOCAL images at least 10 times faster than point-scanner-based systems and boosts image quality of thin samples, such as monolayer cultures, and is especially suited for thick samples like tiny model organisms, 3D cultures, and cleared tissues!
Widefield imaging …
In case you need to detect lower sample signals or visualize thin samples like tissue sections or micro-organisms, you can easily switch to WIDEFIELD mode and combine it with deconvolution.
Transmitted Light imaging …
Do you need to visualize the development of larger organisms whose structures naturally deliver high-contrast images or would you like to image thinner samples with higher transparency? No problem, just easily switch to BRIGHTFIELD or DIFFERENTIAL PHASE CONTRAST mode and obtain amazing images!
Brightfield DPC & Confocal
You can even combine image modes for even greater imaging flexibility! For example, combine DPC with widefield or confocal imaging modalities and see stunning results! BC43 will bring instant clarity and depth to your research, whatever your sample.
So, who is the system intended for?
For the Cell Biologist …
Reveal the detail inside cells from nm to mm within tissues and whole model organisms with BC43. Use BC43 in confocal mode to see detail hidden in the sample background or image in widefield to increase sensitivity and speed.
Image fast dynamic events, such as microtubule dynamics, or study longer processes like cell cycle over 24 hours with no photobleaching or phototoxicity.
For the Developmental Biologist …
BC43 delivers fast high-resolution imaging of developing model organisms (e.g. zebrafish and drosophila). Imaging deeper than conventional fluorescence microscopes and delivering a 10-fold more productive experience than a traditional confocal. No sacrificing sensitivity, resolution, or 3D detail for speed, or to avoid bleaching.
For the Tissue Imager …
Discover more in intact tissues, use cleared samples and BC43 in confocal mode to image even thicker samples. BC43 takes advantage of the working distance of modern objectives: imaging hundreds of microns at high magnifications, and beyond.
