An Inside Look

The confocal-based super-resolution microscope AX/AX R with NSPARC. This development started at the IIT.

The origin of NSPARC is in the IIT (Italian Institute of Technology). We interviewed Professor Alberto Diaspro, Dr. Paolo Bianchini, and Dr. Giuseppe Vicidomini, who worked on research and development at the Nikon Imaging Center and the Molecular Microscopy and Spectroscopy Lab in the IIT.
An Inside Look

Images beyond your imagination. The confocal-based super-resolution microscope AX/AX R with NSPARC.

NSPARC enables super-high-speed scanning with unprecedented high resolution for observation and acquisition of images, showing even the slightest of changes in living cells. Its developers spoke of their ambitious challenge of aiming higher.
An Inside Look

Unprecedented high-end AX/AX R microscopes to satisfy all researchers

The AX/AX R confocal microscope system is designed to let anyone customize freely according to their usage. To find out more, we spoke to those in charge of product planning and design about the stories behind how they pursued software operability, as well as hardware performance improvements.
