Website for Confocal Microscopy Users

A new Web portal (www.nikonconfocal.com) is designed to assist users of confocal microscopy to learn advanced confocal techniques.

The site, established by Nikon Instruments (Yokahoma, Japan), offers new and experienced users a primer on confocal microscopy and highlights commonly used and advanced confocal techniques. The new portal identifies spectral separation, sensitivity, and acquisition time as the most common challenges that users face when working in confocal microscopy. Solutions are presented to these issues based on Nikon's extensive research, testing, and product designs. Detailed product guides help users choose the right equipment for a particular application and contain links to instructional pages and interactive tutorials within the website.

"Unprecedented advancements in science and technology have led to an increased demand for more sophisticated and powerful microscopy products,” said Eric Flem, communications director, Nikon Insturments. "The confocal microscope is one of the most valuable tools in biomedical research. Our new Web portal provides researchers with the new resources to unlock the potential of this tool.”
