Dragonfly 600 adds Borealis-TIRF and zoom illumination optics imaging functionality to make a complete multi-modal system for Widefield, Confocal, TIRF, and SMLM (DNA-PAINT & dSTORM) applications. Dragonfly 600 has achieved impressive resolutions down to 6 nm (DNA-PAINT)2 and allows SMLM in any imaging modality (confocal, widefield or B-TIRF). Andor's patented Borealis-TIRF exploits patented Borealis® illumination, delivering robust, even illumination and thus more usable data across the field of view.
Fully configured Dragonfly system, adding 3D SMLM in widefield, confocal, B-TIRF (DNA-PAINT, dSTORM and PALM) and live cell TIRF imaging.
