CBIS LM Core: FLUOVIEW FV3000

FLUOVIEW FV3000

Olympus

One new Olympus FLUOVIEW FV3000 confocal has been setup in confocal core since March 2017. FV3000 is designed not only for high sensitivity and speed imaging for live cell on 2D-6D (x,y,λ,z,t,p), but also microplate imaging and complex screening.

About the FV3000

Our FV3000 is equipped with both galvanometer and high-speed resonance scanners. The resonance scanner acquires full field of view at 30 frames per second with high sensitivity and low phototoxicity, which is critical for velocity measurements and capturing dynamic events, such as for beating heart, blood flow, calcium signaling, etc. With Olympus’ exclusive silicone objectives providing clear and bright images at depth, and Olympus IX2-ZDC2, Z drift compensator, our FV3000 is optimized for time-lapse 3D imaging for culture cells.

For small organisms or large pieces tissue, FV3000 facilitates macro to micro imaging at very low to high magnification (1.25X up to 100X) so that our end user is able to see the entire organism in context and focus on the interested region with high resolution information.

With Olympus’ patented Super Resolution (FV-OSR) imaging, our FV3000 provides an easy-to-use way for boosting resolution beyond the diffraction limit in fixed tissues.

Overall, the FV3000 has a range of standard and optional advanced application features including FV-OSR, spectral unmixing, photo-conversion, photo-stimulation and complex cell cycle imaging, to meet our users’ imaging requirement to answer different research questions.
