The Digital Eclipse C1-Plus Modular Confocal microscope system is designed with improved scan head optics to boost optical performance to 400 nm. The C1-Plus includes faster image acquisition with bidirectional scanning, support for X and Y scan axes rotation, and improved control over laser illumination intensity. The C1-Plus also features directly modulated 408 nm, 440 nm, and 638 nm diode lasers, and a diode pumped solid-state laser at 561 nm.
     EZC1 v2.2 software controls the C1 system, which operates on a Windows 2000 or Windows XP-platform. The software integrates the C1-Plus hardware, enabling many new C1-Plus capabilities, including bidirectional scanning for faster frame rates used in live cell imaging applications.
