On January 24, 2022, a workshop titled "Andor BC43 - The Ultimate Benchtop Confocal Microscope" will be held at the Shared Laboratory of Cellular Imaging (CELLIM) in Brno, where we will present the new BC43 plug & play confocal microscope in collaboration with Andor , which provides fast 2D and 3D routine imaging from brightfield to confocal microscopy at the touch of a button, regardless of sample type.
Key features of the Andor BC43 confocal microscope:
- Compact: The BC43 fits into a small workspace.
- Powerful.
- Tight and opaque housing: no need for a darkroom
- Built-in anti-vibration plate: no need for a separate optical table
- High quality and fast 3D routine imaging from brightfield to confocal microscopy for beginners and advanced scientists
- Plug & play: easy & fast operation

The workshop will start with a free morning lecture, followed by hands-on workshops with the opportunity to image your own samples(hands-on/limited capacity - registration required!)
Configuring the BC43 microscope for hands-on:
- BC43 confocal unit based on spinning disk + Widefield + Brightfield and DIC
- Imaging methods: single color, multicolor, Z-stacks, time-lapse, multiposition, multiwell, montage and 2D/3D stitching
- sCMOS camera: 6.5 μm pixel; 2048x2000 pixels (4.1 MP); QE 82%; 16-bit, monochrome
- Acquisition software - Fusion (deconvolution, stitching)
- Focus Seek & Lock - patented autofocus technology
- Analytical software - Imaris
- Lenses: 2x (sample overview), 10x, 20x, 40x, 60x oil
- Excitation wavelengths: 405 nm, 488 nm, 561 nm, 638 nm
- Emission filters: Blue 445/20, Green 529/24, Orange 595/31, Red 708/75
