Microscopy and 3D Optigrid system

The OptiGrid system from Qioptiq Imaging Solutions is a structured light device that produces confocal quality images in near real time from a standard fluorescence microscope without using laser scanning technology. This cost effective alternative to confocal microscopy is controlled by the Improvision Acquisition Hub and interfaced with Volocity Acquisition. The OptiGrid is fast enough to display a live confocal quality preview as the microscope is focused and will acquire data in 2D or 3D over time.

Here, you can find the 3D structure of an aerobic biofilm developed at the surface of a stainless steel electrode.
