Molecular biology research studies life at the molecular level. Physiological analysis using cultured cells or microorganisms and genetic analysis, such as genome research, fall within the realm of molecular biology. To conduct these types of analyses, researchers often use fluorescence microscopy imaging and molecular biological techniques such as electrophoresis and PCR.
Our fluorescence microscopes are equipped with high-performance, high-quality optical systems. They support observing stable intracellular dynamics by maintaining focus over the long term, providing highly accurate time-lapse imaging. Intuitive imaging software enables easy system operation for a wide range of molecular biology research applications, including in situ analysis. Through our innovative line of fluorescence microscopes, we contribute to and support researchers’ advances in
the field of molecular biology.
The APEXVIEW™ APX100 benchtop fluorescence microscope makes it fast and simple to acquire expert-quality microscope images. Built with our renowned optics, an intuitive user interface, a powerful AI, and a suite of smart features, the APX100 system combines ease of use with high-quality image data to fit your research needs.
The IXplore SpinSR system is our confocal super resolution microscope optimized for 3D imaging of live cell specimens. Like the IXplore Spin system, it has a spinning disk system for fast 3D imaging while limiting phototoxicity and bleaching. However, it achieves super resolution images down to 120 nm XY and enables you to switch between widefield, confocal, and super resolution with the click of a button.

The IXplore Spin system features a spinning disk confocal unit that enables fast 3D image acquisition, a large field of view, and prolonged cell viability in time-lapse experiments. Researchers can use it to perform rapid 3D confocal imaging with high resolution and contrast at greater depths for imaging into thicker samples. The spinning disk also helps to cut down on photobleaching and phototoxicity of samples upon excitation.
