What can the Nikon SoRa do?

It can do live-cell, dual-color high-speed superresolution confocal imaging, in combination with FRAP

In more detail:

  • Live-cell incubation (keeping temperature, humidity and CO2 at desired levels)

Observation by eye, using the binoculars:

  • Brightfield (simple white light lamp, light coming from above the objective)
  • Widefield epifluorsecence (specific excitation and emission colors, excitation light coming out of the objective)

Observation by camera, using the software:

  • Brightfield
  • Widefield epifluorescence
  • Spinning disc confocal imaging (up to ca. 260 nm resolution)
  • Superresolution spinning disc confocal imaging (up to ca. 120 nm resolution)
  • FRAP (fluorescence recovery after photobleaching, 488 nm bleaching laser available)
