The Andor Revolution DSD2 is a basic confocal device that provides excellent imaging performance.
Its simplicity is based on its laser-free operation and compact patented optical design, delivering ease of retrofit to an existing fluorescence microscope, or an easy add-on to most of the available new models.
The advantages are an inexpensive confocal device for your laboratory, removing the need to use core facilities. Alternatively, if customers own a core facility, they can boost their capacity and provide a lower cost solution with the DSD2. The user-friendly application of the DSD2 will enable users to begin imaging in no time, with just minimal training.
