High-speed spinning disk confocal unit for rapid, high-resolution live-cell fluorescence microscopy at up to 1,000 fps.
The CSU X1 is a high-performance spinning disk confocal scanner unit designed to enhance fluorescence microscopy by providing rapid, high-resolution imaging of live cells and tissues. This system integrates seamlessly with existing microscopes, enabling researchers to capture dynamic biological processes with exceptional clarity.
Key features include:
The CSU X1 is widely utilised in scientific fields such as cell biology, neuroscience, developmental biology, and biotechnology. Its rapid imaging capabilities are particularly beneficial for applications like live-cell imaging, calcium imaging, and fluorescence recovery after photobleaching (FRAP).
Commonly employed in university laboratories, biomedical research centres, and pharmaceutical companies, this system supports a broad spectrum of research endeavours. Since its release in 2006, the CSU X1 has remained a cornerstone in confocal microscopy, continually advancing the frontiers of biological imaging.
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.
With a service contract, ten to fifteen years is normal for most benchtop instruments. Detectors and pumps are the parts that wear first.
Often, yes. Verified suppliers frequently work with service partners converting the instrument. If applicable, we can list servicing options alongside the offer.
Ask a scientist through the request button. Parts are often available even when the instrument itself is discontinued.
Two to six weeks, depending on refurbishment scope and whether calibration is included.
We ship to 38 countries. Crating and customs handling are quoted with the instrument.
Tell us what you need and a scientist finds it for you, usually within the hour.
