从高速共聚焦平台吹入现场的那一刻起，很明显，牛津仪器公司Andor Technology在全球共聚焦显微镜空间内开发了更改游戏的产品。
自1980年代后期出现第一次商业激光扫描共聚焦显微镜以来，共聚焦显微镜一直是生活科学研究与发现的主要停留时间。欧洲杯线上买球With its arrival, Dragonfly challenged the pre-eminence of the established technology by creating a 21st century reinvention of a 90s concept, known as ‘microlens spinning disk confocal’, enabling it to deliver ten times faster imaging, greater sensitivity and gentler specimen excitation, while matching existing resolutions and the capacity to handle thick specimens. In this innovative design, patented illumination, award-winning detectors and new software have been combined to deliver outstanding micro-imaging performance. In January 2018, Dragonfly was recognized by the R&D 100 Awards as one of the most Technologically Significant New Analytical Products of the year.
Dragonfly家族由500系列启动，这是一个多式联运成像平台，可提供Microlens旋转磁盘，激光Epi-Fluorecence，带有超分辨率和多波球长的TIRF选项的双摄像头成像。提供令人印象深刻的灵活性，这500是单个研究人员和核心设施的实验吞吐量的重大进步。最近，随着200系列的引入，蜻蜓家族被扩展，这是一种较小的形式因子仪器，可以适应倒立和直立的显微镜：后者用于重要的和生理学应用，并具有浸水目标，清除的组织成像。
蜻蜓是一种破坏性的技术，不仅是因为它在各种方式上都具有惊人的成像性能，而且还因为新的，安多尔开发的软件平台的紧密整合称为Fusion。当融合与蜻蜓的速度和灵敏度相结合时，融合提供了独特的用户体验，例如图像采集期间实时体积可视化，使研究人员可以将微观的细胞世界视为事件和结构的发展。此外，Fusion利用图形处理技术和实时超分辨率成像的最新算法，标志着计算机辅助显微镜的未来。
Andor’s Director of Microscopy Systems, Dr Mark Browne said of the R&D 100, “the award provides recognition for all of the hard work and innovation that has been invested over many years in this field by the exceptional research and development, manufacturing, service and sales teams who have contributed to the development and delivery of Dragonfly. We believe that Dragonfly will continue to contribute to great scientific discoveries with its unique blend of capabilities, delivering high quality data to reveal the complexities of life’s most challenging questions. We are truly grateful to the judges of R&D 100 awards, but most of all we thank the scientists, our customers, whose brilliance, enthusiasm and determination lead the ongoing charge of scientific discovery.”
