Cicero

CICERO spinning disk solution delivers fast image acquisition speed (15K rpm) and sensitivity, easily enabling live cell imaging and large-scale 3D object imaging. Due to its large field of view (up to 22mm FOV), CICERO offers a minimal scanning process and can capture large samples in a single frame.

CICERO is a reliable and flexible solution compatible with both LED and Laser as illumination sources. Moreover, the wide spectral range enables a large variety of applications. For this, CICERO allows to address both entry-level and challenging applications.

Features and Benefits

  • Spectral range (confocal/widefield): 400-750nm
  • Fully automated experiments
  • Software controlled bypass mode: widefield to confocal
  • The fastest spinning disk in the market: 15.000 rpm rotation speed, up to kHz range
  • Choose your disk: 50um pinholes in two different versions based on different pinole spacing
  • Choose your disk: unique continuous spiral disk makes it faster for high-speed applications
  • User inspired: customize pinhole size and geometry on request
  • Exchangeable, synchronized and sealed: the disk box is one of the most versatile features of the new V3. Dust protection and synchronization signals out to the camera make it reliable and faster.
  • Lateral Resolution (FWHM): ~230 nm (High NA 1.4) diffraction limited
  • Axial Resolution (FWHM): ~600 nm (High NA 1.4)
  • High Confocal Quality: this advanced new series brings in a redesigned optical layout optimized to enhance sensitivity and signal-to-noise ratio in any dim and bright conditions
  • Software controlled filter cubes: 3 positions for simultaneous dual-color imaging
  • Illumination uniformity: microlenses based for high uniformity across the full field of view
  • Illumination FOV: different options to match different camera sizes and enhance efficiency
  • Illumination shaping: preserve your sample. Motorized aperture to cut illumination in the region surrounding the region of interest
  • Software controlled filter wheels: 4-positions automated cleanup filter wheel, 3-positions automated dichroic filter wheel, 8-positions automated emission filter wheel
