VisiGrid - Confocality by Structured Light Illumination High Resolution in Confocal

 

Quality without Expensive and Complicated Laser Systems

 

Many modern microscope technologies are based on fluorescence. The challenge in fluorescence microscopy is to resolve even weakly fluorescent molecules in subcellular space. This requires microscopic systems with highest resolution and sensitivity as well as new methods. The structured light illumination OptiGrid method allows to get this extreme high resolution in confocal quality without expensive and complicated laser systems. It`s a new tool available for easy and reliable creation of optical slices in 2D and 3D.

 

The structured illumination process returns a strong signal wherever focus is sharp and a weak signal where focus is soft. Furthermore, a patented algorithm is used to remove the blur (weak signals) and to combine the strong signals in the grid image to optical sections comprising just the focal plane. A series of optical sections taken through a sample (z-stack) can then be combined to create a haze-free ultra-sharp composite image. Image stacks can also be used to produce 3D reconstructions using our post processing software.
