Product benefits

Perfect for patch clamp recordings

The liquid light guide illumination coupling system ensures that your experimental area remains free from vibration and electrical noise enabling an optimal patch clamp environment for the best data quality acquisition.

Switch filter sets while keeping your patched cell stable

The Soft-Switch filter ensures you can confidently switch between filter sets during an experiment, without the risk of jolting your delicate experiment, allowing you to visualise many different fluorophores in one sample. With four filter slots available, you can use single or multi-band filters.

Flexible DIC adjustments without disrupting your patched cell

The Soft-Slide DIC pocket allows for smooth insertion and removal of the DIC analyser during your experiment, ensuring adjustments can be made without disruption.

Collect quality data across the entire field of view

With a custom designed optical path and quality lenses, the FCM+ ensures even illumination across your sample. This design enables quantitative data measurements throughout your sample area.

Utilise your industry standard filter cubes

The FCM+ uses Olympus U-MF2 filter cubes which can be fitted without the need for tools. You can reuse existing filter sets from your other microscopes saving you money and enabling you to fit them easily and quickly into this setup.

Make use of multiband filter sets

The FCM+ is perfect when paired with multiband filter sets and modern LED light engines. You no longer need to switch filters when imaging different fluorophores. Scientifica can pair the FCM+ with the ideal lightsource and multiband filters set specifically for your experiment.

Four positions for cubes

The FCM+ provides four positions for cubes, allowing you to fit more epifluorescence filters than before. This expanded capacity enables faster, more seamless transitions between different imaging modes, improving workflow efficiency and increasing the versatility of your setup.

Truly futureproof with your system

The FCM+ is compatible with all Scientifica upright microscope setups, supporting lab growth from widefield epifluorescence to multiphoton with HyperScope, VistaScope, and HoloStim 3D for holographic stimulation.

Testimonials

"The magnetic mounting of the filter cubes makes everything extremely easy and quick, allowing us to easily change filters depending on the experiment."
