Nikon C2 Laser Scanning Confocal

Nikon C2 Laser Scanning Confocal System with LU4A 4-Line Laser Unit and C2-DU3 3-Channel PMT Detector (Used)

The Nikon C2 is a point-scanning confocal system for advanced fluorescence microscopy, optical sectioning, Z-stack acquisition, and 3D imaging. This package includes the C2 scan head, C2-DU3 3-channel PMT detector unit, and Nikon LU4A laser unit with four Coherent lasers (405, 488, 561, and 640 nm), ready to add confocal capability to a compatible Nikon research microscope. It is well suited for labs upgrading an existing Nikon stand for neuroscience, developmental biology, cell biology, tissue imaging, and immunofluorescence work.
