*** Commercial response ***
Kurt, Christophe, you are both correct. Just some additional clarification and information:
Spectral Applied Research was acquired by Andor Technologies in October of 2013. The Diskovery Platform is a new spinning disk confocal system designed and manufactured in Canada and was officially "re-launched" by Andor at this year's annual Society for Neuroscience Meeting. This instrument has a number of distinguishing features - the application of the Borealis illumination scheme, removable and exchangeable confocal pinhole disk cartridges with different pinhole sizes and spacings (to change the degree of confocality and pinhole cross-talk), sCMOS camera compatible field of view, and an upgradable TIRF module that integrates into the same optical pathway as the confocal imaging mode thus allowing one to use the same camera for confocal and TIRF imaging (with automatic registration of the images). These and other additional features are described in the product brochure on the Andor website.
