Spinning Disk Confocal Microscope

The University of Exeter’s Centre for Microbiology and Planetary Health has a requirement for a spinning disk confocal microscope system intended to function as a core, shared-access instrument suitable for a broad and diverse research user base. The system must offer intuitive operation, rapid uptake by non-specialist users, and high robustness for frequent use. The instrument must match or exceed the performance envelope associated with modern integrated spinning disk confocal systems, including multi-channel fluorescence, automated z-stack acquisition, tiling, and live-cell compatibility, while prioritising usability, accessibility, and reproducible data output.
