Andor Technology has introduced the Differential Spinning Disk (DSD) Uni.

The DSD Uni brings with it the ability to add a confocal unit to almost any fluorescence microscope, upright or inverted, irrespective of manufacturer.

A key part of its design is a universal mount that maintains camera and confocal unit stability. It keeps the DSD feature of filter set exchange without disassembly.The user benefits from alignment-free use of the confocal system, thus saving valuable imaging time.

An additional recent enhancement to this laser-free technology includes the ability to offer four wavelength imaging instead of three. Due to the development of the motorized Andor AMH metal halide light source, wavelength switching is now faster, with light intensity to the sample being finely and discreetly controlled for each wavelength independently. This reduces bleaching and/or phototoxicity for your fixed or live cell applications.
