Crest X-Light V2 Spinning Disk Confocal

X-Light V2 Spinning Disk Confocal

Spinning disk confocal imager with an unsurpassed price to performance ratio.
Large field of view for use with sCMOS and EMCCD cameras.
Compatible with most inverted and upright microscopes.
Supports multimode laser excitation sources for exceptional performance.

The X-Light V2 is a high-performance confocal imaging system ideally suited for both core imaging facilities and individual research labs. This spinning disk confocal system can seamlessly switch between widefield, confocal, and super-resolution imaging (with the optional LiveSR add-on) on the same microscope.

The X-Light V2 comes standard with a 5-position motorized dichroic wheel, 8-position motorized emission filter wheel, motorized bypass mode, and exchangeable disk boxes. An 8-position motorized excitation wheel is an available option. The X-Light V2 has a large field of view. It works with both EMCCDs for the sensitive, low-light applications as well as larger-format sCMOS cameras for higher resolution imaging. The X-Light V2 is compatible with the new high-power, low-cost LDI laser illuminator.
