As pivotal techniques that provide significant advances to the world of science, fluorescence and confocal microscopy facilitate a wide range of complex imaging tasks. A variety of advanced microscopy systems have been
successfully developed for the imaging of live as well as fixed cells and tissue samples. With uses in both medical and biological sciences, these microscopy systems are comprised of a series of components, which must all be optimised in order to produce a clear, highresolution image. As such, the advanced capabilities of these microscopes are often inaccessible to less experienced users. The development of compact, easy-to-use systems, such as the all-in-one FSX100 fluorescence and FluoView FV10i cLSM microscopes from Olympus, enable simple step-by-step operation with clear on-screen instructions. With one-click operation, these self-contained microscopes have the ability to automatically locate the best-possible settings, removing the need for the user to adjust any complicated optical setups. Highly advanced imaging is therefore made accessible in-lab, to researchers of all experience levels.
