🔬Maximize Resolution in Deep Imaging for Neuroscience Research
Olympus Launches TruResolution Objectives for Multiphoton Laser Scanning Microscopes
Industry-First Automatic Spherical Aberration Compensation Function Developed Jointly with RIKEN
January 17, 2018
FV30-AC25W and FV30-AC10SV Objectives with Automatic Spherical Aberration Compensation
FLUOVIEW FVMPE-RS Microscope
Olympus Corporation (Representative Director and President: Hiroyuki Sasa) today announced the joint development with the RIKEN Brain Science Institute of the FV30-AC25W and FV30-AC10SV objectives for multiphoton laser microscopes, featuring automatic spherical aberration compensation. These new products from Olympus’ Scientific Solutions business will be launched worldwide on January 17, 2018.
Neuroscience research needs precise three-dimensional imaging of rapid biological processes, such as nerve excitation and conduction or synaptic transmission. Olympus’ proven FLUOVIEW FVMPE-RS multiphoton laser scanning microscope facilitates such research. This high-performance model of the FLUOVIEW microscope series enables deep imaging, an important requirement in neuroscience.
The new FV30-AC25W and FV30-AC10SV objectives were designed specifically for the multimode FLUOVIEW FVMPE-RS microscope and are equipped with motorized correction collars that can automatically and dynamically compensate for spherical aberration*1 while maintaining the focus position. This capability enables clear and bright imaging, even for the fine structure of nerve cells. These new objectives were developed based on research by the RIKEN BSI-Olympus Collaboration Center*2.
