Igniting New Confocal Imaging Potential
The newly developed Nikon Spatial Array Confocal (NSPARC) detector utilizes an ultra-low noise detector array to collect a two-dimensional image at each scanned point. This method of image scanning microscopy (ISM) improves signal-to-noise ratio by increasing the available signal level while simultaneously allowing imaging with lower excitation power.
Single-photon sensitivity and array detection extend the capabilities of the AX system by revealing unseen details in every image, while array detection pushes the boundaries of resolution beyond the theoretical limits.

NSPARC
An extremely low noise profile along with incredible sensitivity renders outstanding results even under demanding imaging conditions, including high speed resonant imaging. As an added benefit, additional spatial information is acquired for every pixel using the detector array, which can be used to further enhance resolution and brightness.
Traditional Detector: Each pixel from a traditional detector contains only one intensity value, and no spatial information.
NSPARC: Each pixel from NSPARC contains spatial information, which can be used to reconstruct fine details in a result image.
