See Brighter, See Faster, See More.
The X-Light V3 is a cutting-edge confocal imaging system designed for the most challenging microscopy applications. It is ideal for low light or high-speed imaging can handle the largest scientific cameras and has a software-controlled bypass mode for widefield or other imaging methods.
The X-Light V3 comes with motorized excitation, dichroic, and emission filter wheels and dual simultaneous camera mounts with an automated mirror slider. The spinning disk box has a motorized bypass mode and is exchangeable to use different pinhole patterns. A customizable microlens array and software integrated excitation and emission irises combine to achieve the flattest illumination possible, even with a large field of view. The X-Light V3 is compatible with high powered multimode laser light sources, such as the LDI.

Multiple Pinhole Patterns |
Multiple disks are available, including 50um, 60um, and 40um pinhole sizes. Standard pinhole spacing is an excellent compromise between brightness, confocality and image quality. A version with larger spacing has been designed to enhance image quality and sectioning in thicker specimens thanks to the large reduction of crosstalk between pinholes. |
| Illumination
|
Microlenses make the illumination field highly homogeneous on large fields of view. A unique plug-and-play design allows you to choose and change the illumination size to match the most common camera formats. If needed, the illumination can be shrunk to a smaller area for higher power density, higher efficiency, and faster speed. |
| Dual color, dual imaging, still wider
|
The X-Light V3 is the first confocal unit to allow dual-camera imaging at the maximum field of view of 25mm on both cameras. Precision controls allow easy alignment between both cameras. |
| Sealed Disk Box |
This unique new feature makes the disk fully isolated and protected from environmental dust and prevents undesired artifacts related to the presence of small dust particles on the disk surface. |
| Disk Synchronization |
To manage very high-speed imaging, the V3 provides as a standard feature a synchronization signal from the spinning disk to the camera. This allows for a solid quantitative analysis of very fast dynamics. |
| Illumination Shaping |
A software-controlled square iris in front of the spinning disk, with variable aperture, can be used to screen light and preserve the surrounding area of the sample out of a region of interest. |
