COMMERCIAL POST :

For the community using spinning disk confocal,  I wanted to communicate that there is now an even faster option ( up to several KHz frame rate)  for truly high speed spinning disk confocal , using a high speed , cooled intensified CMOS camera.

We just launched the HICAM FLUO from Lambert Instruments which outputs 1 Mpixels at 1 KHz with cooled Gen 3 intensifier.

Please check http://www.lambertinstruments.com/hicam-fluo <http://www.lambertinstruments.com/hicam-fluo>

This would be interesting for researchers who need to observe very fast phenomenon (ms scale) or perform extremely fast 3D scanning .

Kind regards,
