| Category | Microscopy |
| Description | System allows for imaging with increased optical resolution and contrast of a micrograph by means of adding a spatial pinhole at the confocal plane of the lens to eliminate out-of-focus light, it also enables reconstruction of 3D structures from the images. The FV1000 offers a proprietary spectral optical design system featuring ultra-high, 2-nanometer (nm) wavelength resolution, and high speed spectroscopy at 100nm/msec. There are two independent photomultiplier tube (PMT) channels for spectral detection, each configured with a diffraction grating and variable slit for high resolution wavelength separation and high-speed bandwidth selection. |
