Large field of view macro confocal imaging system.
With high-definition wide field of view images larger than 1cm with unprecedentedly high S/N ratios, the AZ-C2+ allows for imaging of whole-mount specimens, such as embryos, in a single shot. It offers a combination of low and high magnification objective lenses, optical zoom and a confocal scanning zoom function, enabling continuous imaging from macro to micro. Moreover, the AZ-C2+ allows deep imaging of in vivo whole specimens.
주요 특징들
One-shot-whole specimen-macro confocal imaging
High NA objectives for macro observation enable fast, high-resolution, single-image capture of a wide specimen area. Because the objectives cover a field of view larger than 1 cm, imaging of embryos during late stages of development and the dynamics of cell populations in whole organs are possible.
The AZ-C2+ can capture wide-field, optical sections at high resolution in a single scan. With a conventional confocal microscope, image stitching is necessary because the field of view that can be captured in a single scan is small.

Continuous imaging from low magnification to high magnification
With five different objective lenses, optical zoom and confocal scan zoom, the AZ-C2+ makes imaging possible from very low magnification to high magnification. Macro imaging, such as whole-section imaging, and micro imaging, including imaging of a single cell, can be done using a single microscope.

Deep imaging of whole specimens
The AZ-C2+ allows imaging deep into the specimen–difficult to achieve with conventional confocal microscopes. The AZ-C2+ efficiently captures fluorescence signals from deep within a specimen in macro and in-vivo imaging.
Confocal laser microscope system C2+/C2si+ Ready/C2si+
The Nikon C2+ series offers the optimum confocal system to meet both your research and your budgetary needs.
C2+
Standard model boasts high resolution, high sensitivity, and high contrast. Suited for single laboratories or large research groups.
C2si+ Ready
Upgrade to C2si+ is possible by adding a spectral detector.
C2si+
Spectral confocal system featuring a 32-ch multianode spectral detector. A spectral bandwidth of 320 nm can be captured in a single scan.
[Note] Upgrade to the macro confocal microscope system is through a combination of the C2+ series and the AZ100 microscope. The AZ100M and A1+ series are not compatible.
