Olympus IX2-DSU Disc Scanning Unit | IX2-DSU
The Olympus IX2-DSU is a high-speed disc scanning unit designed to convert an Olympus IX series inverted microscope into a confocal-like imaging system. By using a spinning slit disc design, the IX2-DSU provides optical sectioning with significantly reduced photobleaching compared to traditional laser-scanning confocal microscopes. It enables rapid, high-contrast imaging of thick or live biological specimens, making it ideal for developmental biology, live-cell fluorescence, and real-time dynamic studies.
Condition
Refurbished/Used
(This product has been inspected and verified to meet manufacturer specifications)
Key Features
- Slit-disc design for fast optical sectioning and widefield confocal imaging
- Minimized photobleaching and phototoxicity – ideal for live samples
- Compatible with standard fluorescence excitation and detection systems
- Designed for Olympus IX series inverted microscopes
- Supports imaging of thick specimens with improved axial resolution
Applications
- Live-cell fluorescence imaging
- Thick specimen optical sectioning
- Developmental and cell biology
- High-speed time-lapse microscopy
