Product introduction

1.The structured illuminated super-resolution fluorescence microscope (DMD-SIM) based on digital micromirror device uses special modulated structured light field illuminated sample produced by DMD, extract high frequency information beyond cut-off frequency from modulated image data with different phase by adopting phase-shifting algorism, to rebuild 2D/3D super-resolution image that beyond diffraction limit. This product can also be used to obtain good quality of 3D imaging by using structured light illuminated fast slice imaging approach and algorithmically remove the blurry defocused information from original image.

2.This product is designed to used high brightness 10 wavebands LED as source to not only lower its cost but also widen its applications. The characteristics of fast imaging speed, low phototoxicity and low cost has been widely used in the filed of life science. It can be used in fast super-resolution and 3D slice imaging of biological fluorescent sample, which has been considered as one of the most importance instruments in life science research and pharmaceuticals.
