The HT-2 series opens a new era of 3D correlative imaging, and is the world's first microscopy unit to effectively combine holotomography and 3D fluorescence imaging.
Capable of simultaneously capturing high-resolution 3D optical diffraction tomography and 3D fluorescence images, the microscope enables long-term tracking of specific targets in live cells while minimising stress.
Ground-breaking research was recently undertaken by Tomocube Inc. and the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) using
the HT-2 microscope to explore the 4D interaction dynamics of T cells and their targets in the immunological synapse for the first time.

Neurolucida 360 studio has been recalibrated to provide a more in-depth analysis of varicosities. Tracing algorithms have been optimised to more accurately model varicosities and generated metrics such as maximum diameter, length, thickness ratio, distance to root, distance along branch, surface area etc. Users can also generate reports based on what structure (e.g. dendrite or axon) the varicosity is associated.
Key Features:
- New 'Neurolucida360 Explorer' functionality allows users to perform extensive morphometric analysis on neuron reconstructions, serial section reconstructions and brain maps
- Visualise and analyse data in a 3D environment while exploring specific quantitative measurements
- New '3D Movie Mode' to easily create and edit dynamic presentations of reconstructions
- New 'Large Volume Reconstruction Mode' to optimise the user's ability to reconstruct sub volumes of extremely large datasets
- Hundreds of Quantitative Analyses: Customise many of the analyses to address your specific research questions
- Results are easily exportable to most statistical and spreadsheet software for analysis

The BioCAM DupleX from 3Brain is a fully bi-directional microelectrode array platform for 2D and 3D in vitro electrophysiology. Its bidirectional capabilities allow researchers to simultaneously record high-density electrophysiological data at 18 kHz and induce electrical stimulation at any of the 4,096 microelectrodes. In addition to this micrometre-precise electrical stimulation, active and passive light shielding allows the use of ontogenetic tools without affecting chip functionality.
Key Features:
- 4096 stimulation sites
- 4 differential channels (accessible with optional connector box)
- 12 bit data resolution
- Computational Core: Intel®'s Arria® 10 FPGA 13Gbps, 2GB DDR4, and ARM® dual-core Cortex™-A9 1.5 GHz
- Data Interface: USB 3.1 Type-C
- Dimensions and Weight: 180 x 230 x 40 mm, 2 Kg

The Polygon1000 from Mightex provides the same features and reliability as the Polygon400 (currently used in 300+ labs worldwide and published within 35+ publications), however has improved design for more intricate photo stimulation experiments.
Key Features:
- 1 million pixel count
- 4ms loading frame time enabling virtual real-time pattern illumination for closed-loop experiments
- 6600 fps compared to 4000 fps, means enhanced temporal resolution for advanced physiologically relevant experiments and virtual simultaneous 2-colour illumination of distinct ROIs
- Larger DMD chip
- 45% increased power-density at sample level
- UV to visible range illumination
- Interchangeable front tube optics enabling better trade-off between FoV and spatial resolution
