New Software Compatibility Expands Research Access
to Optigrid Structured Illumination Microscopy
January 26, 2010
Qioptiq is pleased to announce several new software developments for the
OptiGrid Structured Illumination Microscopy (SIM) system that offer researchers
greater choice and flexibility in integrating and operating this unique confocal
imaging technology into their research programs.
Utilizing structured-illumination technology, OptiGrid affords benchtop access
to confocal fluorescence 2D optical sectioning and 3D/4D image acquisition and
reconstruction without the cost and complexity of lasers. OptiGrid captures only
image data within the focal plane of a widefield microscope, discarding all other
stray light and out-of-focus information to achieve brilliant contrast, ultra-sharp
edge definition and haze-free channel distinction in fluorescence microscopy.
The OptiGrid paddle slider has been customised to work in most modern research
microscopes, including Nikon Eclipse 80i/90i and Ti; Olympus BX, IX and MVX; and
Zeiss Axio Imager and Axio Observer.
New generation automated OptiGrid SIM Systems are now fully supported by the following popular scientific imaging software suites:
Perkin Elmer Volocity
Olympus Cell*
Explora Nova Fluo’up
Nikon NIS Elements
MDS MetaMorph
This expanded software compatibility and cross-platform versatility offers researchers increased flexibility to operate OptiGrid from a wider number of
software platforms and work within their preferred software environment.
