Dragonfly 505 (Andor Technologies, Inc) is a full featured high end confocal spinning disk system with a wide range of applications for cells and tissue. The system is equipped with an inverted Nikon Ti-E microscope stand including the Perfect Focus System (PFS) and a dual camera setup of iXon 888 Life EMCCD and Zyla 4.2 PLUS sCMOS. Available laser lines 405 (100 mW), 488 (150 mW), 561 (100 mW) and 637 nm (140 mW).

  • Ideal for any application that is time consuming on a regular scanning confocal, for example thick samples at lower magnification or large tile-sans.
  • Ideal for fast live cell imaging, with the ability to bleach and activate fluorescent proteins (Mosaic function).
  • TIRF (total internal reflection fluorescence) microscopy included.
  • SRRF-stream real time super resolution functionality.
  • dSTORM ready with 3D localization optics (reconstruction/visualization not implemented in the software).
