Product description

Confocal laser scanning microscope with hybrid scanners, GaAsP detectors, and environmental control for live-cell imaging.

The Nikon A1R is an advanced confocal laser scanning microscope designed for high-resolution, high-speed imaging of live cells and tissues. Released in 2008, this system integrates seamlessly with Nikon's Ti series inverted microscopes, providing researchers with a versatile platform for dynamic biological studies.

Key features include:

  • Hybrid scanning system: Combines a galvanometer scanner for high-resolution imaging (up to 4096 x 4096 pixels) with a resonant scanner capable of capturing up to 30 frames per second at 512 x 512 pixels, facilitating real-time observation of rapid cellular events.
  • High-speed imaging: The resonant scanner enables imaging at up to 720 frames per second (512 x 16 pixels), ideal for capturing fast biological processes such as ion signalling.
  • Enhanced sensitivity: Equipped with high-sensitivity GaAsP detectors, the system offers improved signal-to-noise ratios, allowing for clearer imaging of faint fluorescent signals.
  • Live-cell imaging support: Features an environmental chamber with temperature, CO₂, and humidity control, ensuring optimal conditions for prolonged live-cell studies.
  • Spectral imaging capabilities: Incorporates a spectral detector for precise separation of overlapping fluorescence signals, enhancing multi-colour imaging applications.

The Nikon A1R is widely utilised in various scientific fields, including cell biology, neuroscience, cancer research, and developmental biology. Its versatility makes it a valuable tool in university laboratories, biomedical research centres, and clinical research facilities. As of 2025, the Nikon A1R remains a relevant and reliable instrument in the scientific community, continuing to support cutting-edge research across multiple disciplines.

Why Questpair exists

Lab equipment markets are fragmented. Buyers spend weeks calling distributors, comparing quotes, and verifying supplier reliability. Sellers struggle to reach global research labs.

We built Questpair to fix this. Every supplier on the platform is verified before listing. Every quote you receive comes from a real, vetted seller. AI prepares your case in minutes, then a real specialist takes over.

We're an independent team based in The Netherlands, working with research labs and procurement teams across Europe and worldwide.

Frequently asked questions

How long does laboratory equipment typically last?

With a service contract, ten to fifteen years is normal for most benchtop instruments. Detectors and pumps are the parts that wear first.

Can I get service for older equipment?

Often, yes. Verified suppliers frequently work with service partners converting the instrument. If applicable, we can list servicing options alongside the offer.

Where can I buy parts?

Ask a scientist through the request button. Parts are often available even when the instrument itself is discontinued.

What is the typical lead time for refurbished equipment?

Two to six weeks, depending on refurbishment scope and whether calibration is included.

Does laboratory equipment ship internationally?

We ship to 38 countries. Crating and customs handling are quoted with the instrument.
