Nikon A1 Confocal Laser Microscope System

The Nikon A1 is a modular confocal system consisting of a separate scan head, standard 4 PMT detector module, control module, laser module, and spectral detector module. The A1 has a standard high-resolution confocal mode (up to 4096 x 4096 pixels) as well as a high speed resonant mode capable of scanning at up 230 frames per sec at 512x64 pixels. Both modes may be used simultaneously.
