Confocal Microscope - Olympus OLS5000

The Olympus OLS5000-SAF laser scanning confocal microscope features reflective imaging to create 3D reconstructions where researchers can obtain precision measurements of surfaces and shapes along X, Y and Z axes. With a 405 nm violet laser and dedicated high-numerical aperture objectives, this microscope captures fine patterns and defects that conventional optical microscopes, white-light interferometers, or red laser-based microscopes are unable to detect. Its scanning algorithm delivers quality data at great speeds reducing the scan time over other similar instruments. The microscope has a motorized stage and can image small to relatively large objects up to 100 mm in height. The analysis package provides statistical analysis including surface roughness, width, step height, volume and other measurements. The Olympus Confocal used was purchased with funds from the US National Science Foundation (NSF) EPSCoR RII program (Grant OIA-1757371) awarded to the New Hampshire Center for Multiscale Modeling and Manufacturing of Biomaterials (NH BioMade; Brad Kinsey, Mechanical Engineering, University of New Hampshire (UNH), PI). The Knowledge Base contains forms, instruction and training material, minutes, policies, tools and other resources to support your research efforts by topic area.
