Unique all-in-one Microscope Family

Olympus has introduced the all-in-one FSX100 fluorescence and FluoView FV10i confocal laser scanning microscope systems to enable even the most inexperienced users to create high-end research images. The all-in-one microscopes are designed to remove all of the complex steps involved in setting-up and using advanced fluorescence and confocal microscopes, ensuring that users can concentrate on the images and data without any prior expertise in the control of the numerous microscope components involved.

By coupling high quality microscopy and imaging hardware with precision automation and advanced software, the Olympus FSX100 and FluoView FV10i present simplified workflows so that users can obtain high quality images and image series by: loading their sample; defining their observation mode and regions of interest (ROI); and then capturing their images: as simple as Set-Select-Capture.

All components are motorised and controlled via software, ensuring that functions such as focusing, exposure, fluorescence wavelength selection and even cover slip thickness correction are automated so the user does not have to touch the microscope at all. As a result, advanced imaging processes such as time-lapses, Z-stacks and multi-position image capture can be carried out with ease and even combined to provide true multidimensional imaging.

The Olympus FSX100 and FV10i all-in-one microscopes enclose all the required components in a compact and self-contained unit. Furthermore, the stage is completely enclosed and therefore provides full darkroom facilities, ensuring maximum imaging sensitivity.

The user-friendly software systems guide users through the whole imaging process. The Olympus FSX100 all-in-one fluorescence microscope is fitted with three fluorescence filter cubes covering a broad range of applications. The Olympus FV10i confocal laser scanning microscope is available as oil-and water-immersion models, both providing an overall magnification range of 10x-600x by combining the 10x and 60x UIS2 SAPO objectives with the confocal optical zoom.
