Nikon Ti2 Spinning Disk (Ramaciotti)

Nikon Ti2
The Nikon Eclipse Ti2-E is an inverted widefield system offering a large field of view, high-quality optics and an industry-leading focus stabilisation system (Nikon Perfect Focus System), and is equipped with a yokogawa CSU-W1 spinning disk unit for confocal imaging. With a stage insert providing temperature and CO2 control, this system is ideal for live-cell imaging. The system software includes Nikon JOBS, allowing automation of experimental protocols, including on the go analysis and cell identification. In addition to these features, this microscope is connected to a Cetoni liquid-handling unit, allowing for automated liquid exchange. Whether you are performing live-cell experiments, sample screening or automated experimental protocols, this system can perform the task with minimal researcher input.

Common Applications

Spinning disk confocal The Nikon TiE2 has a CSU-W1 spinning disk confocal unit. This allows for the high-speed acquisition of images with a high spatial optical resolution. The CSU-W1 can accommodate a wide field of view and has reduced pinhole crosstalk with the Nipkow disk.
Live-cell imaging Imaging living cells allows observation of dynamic processes, greatly improving our understanding of how biological mechanisms work. To facilitate cell survival and to simulate biologically relevant conditions for cellular function, this system includes a temperature and atmosphere controlled stage insert. This wide-field fluorescence system allows gentle imaging of live cells with minimal phototoxic impact. Further, Nikon’s NIS Elements software allows for easy setup of long-term live-cell experiments for visualisation of cell migration and cell proliferation.
Automated experiments This system is equipped with Nikon’s JOBS software, providing a platform for setting up automated experiments. Using a modular interface, JOBS allows users to pre-set imaging parameters and perform long-term experiments that run without further input. In addition, an attached Cetoni liquid handling unit allows integration of buffer-exchange into automated imaging protocols for applications such as multiplexed imaging.
