How the Nikon Perfect Focus System Works
• Uses IR Light Source: Employs infrared light to illuminate samples, reducing photodamage and bleaching in live cells which enhances their viability during extended observations.
• Dedicated Optical Path: Incorporates a dichroic mirror in the optical pathway that directs IR light to the sample while allowing visible light to pass through, optimizing multi-modal imaging techniques.
• Reflected Light Detection: Detects IR light reflections from the interface between the cover glass and the sample, critical for maintaining focus.
• Focus Offset Detection: Continuously monitors the position of reflected IR light to identify any changes in focus or positioning due to environmental factors or equipment movement.
• Automatic Correction: Automatically adjusts the Z-Axis in real-time to correct any detected focus shifts or drifts, ensuring consistent, high-quality imaging.
Benefits of Nikon Perfect Focus System(PFS):
• Easy Sample Swapping at Various Focal Ranges: Enables quick refocusing by swapping samples within the predetermined focal planes of the PFS range.
• Extended Observations: Facilitates the continuous monitoring of live cells for prolonged periods.
• Reduced Phototoxicity: Precision in maintaining focus diminishes the need for frequent manual adjustments, thus decreasing light exposure.
• Automated Scanning of Multi-well Plates: Provides automated, consistent focusing across different wells in a multi-well plate.
• Embryo Imaging Capabilities: Offers the necessary stability for imaging developing embryos over time.
• Neuron Activity Research: Allows the system to persistently focus on specific brain regions or neural cultures for extended durations.
• Decreased Photobleaching: Helps minimize light exposure by maintaining focus with fewer adjustments.
• Enhanced Z-stacking: Guarantees consistent focusing across multiple z-planes.
• Stable Time-lapse Imaging: Essential for capturing consistent focus in time-lapse sequences to accurately document temporal changes.
• Surface Topography Analysis: Critical for precisely mapping surface topographies to understand material characteristics better.
• Monitoring Drug Responses: Enables detailed tracking of cellular reactions to drug treatments over time.
