RMC2 Re-scan Confocal Microscope VIS / Microscopes imaging

The RCM2 is Confocal second generation RCM, with digital scanner technology. It makes bi-directional scanning the standard and allows a speed of 2fps at 512×512 pixels

RMC2 Re-scan Confocal Microscope VIS summary

RCM2 has optics to make it suitable for super-resolution imaging with high NA objectives in the low magnification range, like 40x 1.4. A lower magnification allows for a bigger field of view (FOV), brighter images, and even lower laser power. RCM2 has demonstrated imaging at 10 nano-watt excitation power!

Improvements of sCMOS cameras allow you to sample resolution of low magnification objectives effectively, without increasing the exposure time. In a regular PMT-based confocal this is not possible.
