Aurox Ltd, launch next generation ClarityHS, 100 frame per sec, fast laser free confocal device.
Today at the Focus on Microscopy 2018 (FOM 2018) meeting in Singapore, Aurox Ltd announced the launch of their next generation ClarityHS laser free confocal microscopy device featuring fast 100 fps full frame video imaging.
The ClarityHS is the next generation of laser free confocal device developed by Aurox Ltd, which uses their patented structured illumination disc technology to provide high resolution confocal images, quickly and of comparable image quality to scanning laser confocal microscopy instruments; but faster, at a much reduced cost and lower photo-toxicity / bleaching.
Dr Phillipa Timmins said :
“The ClarityHS can be connected to potentially any suitable microscope, converting the users’ microscope to a confocal imaging instrument.”
“The fast, 100 fps allows exposure times down to 10 ms, such that high quality time-lapse z-stacks can be recorded”.
Extremely compact and designed for installation use in the life science lab; close to where the samples are generated, the ClarityHS removes the immediate need for travel to a core microscopy facility. It combines, accessibility, with ease of use and high speed imaging in a laser free confocal device of significantly reduced purchase price to a scanning laser confocal system and also greatly reduced running costs. The ClarityHS is maintenance free and contains no lasers.
The ClarityHS has widefield and confocal imaging modes, with 3x confocal modes, which can be optimised for high signal or high speed. All functions are accessed via the Aurox Visionary software, which provides all acquisition and experiment controls in one quick to learn and easy to use graphical user interface.
Aurox:
Aurox Ltd was established in 2004 to commercialise and build upon pioneering work from the Scanning Optical Microscopy Group at the University of Oxford, Department of Engineering Science.
Headquartered on the Culham Science Centre, Oxfordshire, UK, Aurox is a leader in the design and manufacture of innovative optical imaging equipment and has received multiple business and technology awards including, the Queen’s Award for Enterprise, the Institute of Physics (IOP) Innovation award and the R&D100 award.
Aurox’s leading product is the Clarity Laser Free Confocal (LFC) unit. The Clarity is the first in a portfolio of new second generation technology products under development by Aurox. This same Aurox technology of structured illumination is used by 3DHistech in their slide scanner product and by Zeiss in their SmartProof5 materials product.
Aurox has built on the success of the Clarity, developing a core imaging technology that lies at the heart of a new range of confocal microscopy systems. These systems address specific market needs in applications ranging from live cell imaging and high throughput screening to materials inspection.
