Nikon Europe B.V. has announced the release of the AX R MP with NSPARC super-resolution multiphoton confocal microscope, which enables extremely sensitive array detection and super-resolution in deep areas within large living organism specimens. This product will contribute to the understanding of brain diseases such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease, as well as drug discovery research.
In recent years, multiphoton microscopy has been used to drive scientific understanding of topics such as real-time neuronal activity and drug efficacy in living organisms.
Nikon has been in a leader in super-resolution microscopy since 2010, offering many technologies that exceed the resolution limit of general optical microscopes. In addition, Nikon released the AX R MP multiphoton confocal microscope last year, providing high-resolution, high-speed, large field-of view images in deep areas within living bodies.
Now, by combining the unmatched sensitivity of array-based NSPARC detection and the optical superiority of the AX R MP, super-resolution observation of deep areas within living bodies can be realized. The combination of these technologies will contribute to nervous system drug discovery research helping to advance knowledge around diseases such as Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s and mechanisms of dementia.
