Using a MEMS confocal device, you can simply perform confocal fluorescence imaging on your inverted microscope.
There is no need for additional equipment, such as cameras, filters, or lasers, with this little bench-top apparatus.
It makes confocal fluorescence imaging more accessible by serving as an entry-level model or as a sub-model of a high-end confocal fluorescence microscope.
Confocal microscopy stimulates a specimen within a constrained plane of focus by passing laser light through the objective of a regular light microscope.
The pinhole, also known as the confocal aperture, rejects any emission of light from out-of-focus planes.
A method for improving the contrast of microscope images, particularly in thick material, is confocal optical microscopy.
The method prevents close or overhanging scatterers from adding to the detected signal by limiting the observable volume.
The global MEMS confocal unit market accounted for $XX Billion in 2022 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2023 to 2030.
A new multi-channel confocal device by Hamamatsu Photonics is dubbed MAICO. Confocal fluorescence microscopy is simply accomplished with this MEMS confocal device fitted to any microscope.
High-end confocal microscopes can be supplemented with this plug-and-play, small equipment at a reasonable price.
It has a pinhole, filters, a laser source, and a detector, as well as everything else you might expect from a traditional confocal setup, but because of its small size, it can be used immediately from a researcher’s lab desk.
Each component required for the excitation and detection of each fluorescence band is contained in a single unit thanks to the distinctive subunit structure of MAICO.
Up to four multi-channel simultaneous excitation and observation are supported in addition to single channel observation.
Confocal microscopes, which are essential for studying biological systems, are not always available in laboratories.
For precise sample observation, high-resolving capability and the capacity to record images in the depth direction are crucial.
For this reason, MAICO was created expressly to provide a cost-effective option without sacrificing high-end capabilities.
It has a compact design, high speed, great sensitivity, and is able to observe multiple bands simultaneously without bleed-through.
We were successful in lowering the laser power to a Class 3R by using MAICO, which makes use of our most sensitive detectors and signal processing know-how.
As a result, it can be employed in a typical laboratory setting without a laser-controlled space.
