Evident IX83 IXplore SpinSR Yokogawa SoRa

Description

The IXplore SpinSR SoRa is a fully motorised spinning disk confocal microscope designed for high-speed, gentle live-cell imaging. Built on the Evident IX83 platform, it features a motorised objective turret, drift focus correction (DFC), and SoRa super-resolution technology, achieving ~120 nm lateral and ~300 nm axial resolution. With a microlens-enhanced dual Nipkow disk, sCMOS cameras, and 405–638 nm excitation, it supports 200 fps imaging, multimodal acquisition (widefield, confocal, super-resolution), and includes 405 and 488 nm FRAP lasers for photobleaching experiments. Integrated with cellSens, it enables precise multi-dimensional imaging, making it ideal for advanced cell biology and neuroscience research.
