Confocal imaging promises early detection of skin cancer
Skin cancer is on the increase. Recent statistics for Germany show that some 10 to 12 people in every 100,000 get the disease every year. Alarmingly, this figure is growing at the rate of five to ten per cent annually. From the same group, some 140 will also get non-melanoma or less serious skin cancers. “Diagnosis of skin cancers can take weeks, depending on the health system,?says Dr Ja...BD Pathway 435 confocal bioimager from BD Biosciences - Bioimaging
Description:The BD Pathway 435 is an affordable, compact benchtop imager compatible with multiwell plates and slides, providing a broad array of automated imaging capabilities. The system rapidly acquires high-resolution images with high-performance laser autofocus, true confocal optics, flexible computer-controlled excitation and emission filter changers, and a long-life alignment-free metal halide lamp.<p...TCSPC Confocal Microscope from HORIBA Jobin Yvon
Description:Time-resolved microscopy is the ultimate tool for investigating dynamic events in cells and subcellular structures. Its applications previously have been limited at wavelengths longer than 370 nm because microscope optics do not transmit in the deep UV. HORIBA Jobin Yvon, the leader in fluorescence spectroscopy, introduces a filter-based confocal system (the DynaMic) to measure fluorescence lifet...BD CARV II Confocal Imager from BD Biosciences - Bioimaging
Description:The BD CARV II Confocal Imager delivers high resolution CCD confocal imaging in an easy to use and cost effective optical package that fits on your existing microscope. High speed multi-point confocal scanning, combined with high quantum efficiency CCD cameras, minimizes photobleaching and allows real-time imaging and recording at up to 100 fps. A long life arc source coupled to the instrument vi...Digital Eclipse C1 Plus Modular Confocal System from Nikon
Description:The Eclipse C1 Plus is a modular confocal system that gives you the highest-quality digital imaging with an ultra-compact and lightweight design. The improved scan head optics of the C1 Plusboost optical performance to 400nm andits bi-directional scanner provides faster image acquisition.The system alsoincludes support for X and Y scan axes rotation and new laser options for improved control over...DNA Damage and Repair - Quantification of Sub-Cellular Events Using Automated Confocal Imaging
Oxidative stress, radiation and other external insults have been shown to damage DNA molecules in cells derived from organisms as diverse as bacteria, yeast, drosophila, rodents and man (Friedberg et al. 2005). The presence of DNA damage may lead to cell cycle checkpoint arrest to allow time for DNA repair...Confoscan 3 Corneal Confocal Microscope
Description:Precise display of corneal layers: endothelium, descemet's membrane, stroma, bowman's membrane, epithelial layers. Accurate analysis of corneal components: endothelial cells, stromal keratocytes, nerve fibres, basal & superficial cells. Broad applications in surgery and pathology: optical pachymetry, post-surgery interface evaluation, endothelial cell analysis, haze detection, foreign bodies, cor...Corneal Confocal Microscope ConfoScan 3
