AX Series.
Nikon Instruments expands its AX Series with the new AX R with NSPARC 2K software. The solution aims to maximise resolution performance across four times the field of view. Additionally, the expanded capabilities of the AX R with NSPARC Super-Resolution Confocal Microscope will speed up and improve the efficiency levels of experiments within the fundamental biology, disease research, and drug development sectors.
By combining the Nikon Spatial Array Confocal (NSPARC) detector with the AX R Confocal Microscope system, users should experience more precise observations with low noise and sharp image contrast.

Key features of the AX R with NSPARC 2K Super-Resolution Confocal Microscope:
- Expands the observation range by approximately four times compared to previous products.
- At the same magnification, image acquisition speed is improved six-fold compared to a traditional Galvano scanner.
- The NSPARC detector provides high-speed, large field of view and high-resolution imaging capabilities for researchers observing even the smallest parts of cells and tissues.
“With the introduction of this product, Nikon strives to empower the scientific community to more efficiently research and understand complex diseases such as cancer and Alzheimer's disease, as well as to assist research and development efforts in drug discovery,” said Tatsuya Yamaguchi, Nikon Executive Officer and General Manager of Healthcare Business Unit.
He continued, “Particularly, in diverse biotech subfields such as gene therapy and cell therapy, it will be possible to track the growth processes of cells and tissues within disease models using high throughput and resolution. This new technology will also assist in the understanding of cellular and tissue-level activity, which is critical for assessing the efficacy and safety of novel therapies.”
