The core idea of spinning disk confocal is to change from single-point serial scanning to multi-point parallel synchronous scanning, where thousands of pinholes simultaneously collect signals, significantly improving imaging speed and enabling the capture of rapid dynamic biological events. The device adopts a dual-disk design, with the lens disk and the pinhole disk corresponding one-to-one and rotating synchronously: the lens disk converges and supplements the excitation light to ensure excitation efficiency and image quality. The high-speed disk imaging mode shortens the laser's dwell time on the sample, achieving low photobleaching and low phototoxicity, so spinning disk confocal is very suitable for long-term dynamic imaging of living cells.

IMARIS interactive multi-dimensional microscopy image analysis software is commonly used for 2D/3D/4D/multi-channel and other multi-dimensional image display, rendering, and interactive analysis. It can visualize and analyze imaging data from most microscope manufacturers, including widefield fluorescence microscopes, laser confocal microscopes, spinning disk confocal microscopes, multiphoton fluorescence microscopes, super-resolution fluorescence microscopes, electron microscopes, CT, MRI, and more.
