Olympus IX2-DSU Disc Scanning Unit Confocal

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.
