Fit review
Microscope frame, objective, sample format, label set, target feature size, users, budget, timeline, and success criteria.
Product Path
Products for STED super-resolution.
Start with a fit review. Then choose a module, a custom integrated instrument, or a pilot review.
Product Path
First, check the fit.
We define the microscope geometry, sample constraints, label strategy, target resolution, and validation criteria.
Super-resolution module
For compatible inverted confocal microscopes.
View moduleCustom integrated instrument
For experiments that need a complete inverted microscope platform.
View instrumentFeasibility or pilot review
For sample, dye, validation, or facility-readiness questions.
Review compatibility
Default first step:
Fit review.
Compare Paths
Compare the three paths.
Path
Best fit
Typical outcome
Super-resolution module
Labs with a compatible inverted confocal microscope and a clear sample workflow.
STED capability added to the existing inverted microscope.
Custom integrated instrument
Method developers, core facilities, or groups with unusual samples or workflows.
A complete inverted microscope platform designed around the experiment.
Feasibility or pilot review
Teams still proving sample readiness, label fit, acceptance tests, or facility demand.
Build recommendation or stop/go decision.
Product 01
Super-resolution module
A compact STED upgrade for compatible inverted confocal microscopes.
Request compatibility reviewTypical scope
Optical integration, excitation and depletion paths, safety review, alignment, software workflow, and commissioning.
What is included
Installation plan, validation samples, training, operating documentation, and support plan.
Best starting sample
Fixed, bright, low-background sample with known confocal behavior and compatible dye.
Product 02
Custom integrated instrument
A complete inverted microscope platform built around a demanding experiment: optics, optomechanics, control software, calibration, acquisition workflow, and validation.
Plan an integrated buildFor specialized workflows
Live or fixed samples, unusual mounting, core-facility users, or method-development requirements.
Designed as a system
Objective, stage, beam paths, detectors, controls, and protocol handoff planned together.
Built for transfer
Usable by trained researchers and core-facility staff.
Compatibility Review
What we need to check.
Required information for module and feasibility scoping.
Microscope model
Manufacturer, frame, scan architecture, detector options, objective turret access, and available ports.
Objective and sample
NA, immersion medium, coverslip format, sample thickness, mounting medium, and target structure size.
Labels and channels
Dyes, fluorescent proteins, excitation/emission needs, depletion compatibility, and bleaching behavior.
Physical access
Optical table, enclosure space, cable routing, service clearance, and laser-safety constraints.
Users and throughput
Who will run the system, how often, on what samples, and with what training requirements.
Success criteria
Resolution target, field of view, speed, number of colors, validation sample, and acceptance test.
Project Timeline
From question to working system.
Fit call
Sample, microscope, resolution target, users, timeline, and budget range.
Design review
Optical architecture, integration constraints, safety, validation plan, and project scope.
Build and align
Module or instrument assembly with staged optical and software validation.
Commission and train
Acceptance images, operating documentation, training, and support handoff.
Proof Template
Pilot data can go here when cleared.
Format: sample, instrument path, measured result, facility quote, and validation notes.
Coming pilot format
Confocal baseline → STED validation → user handoff
Add paired images, a short method summary, instrument configuration, sample type, and a quote from the facility or lab lead.
