RCM2 is our second-generation RCM with digital scanner technology. It makes REscanning the standard and allows a speed of 2fps at 512×512 pixels. RCM2 has optics to make it suitable for super resolution imaging with high NA objectives in the low magnification range, like 40x 1.4. NA lower magnification allows for a bigger field of view (FOV), brighter images, and even lower laser power. RCM2 has demonstrated imaging at 10 microwatt excitation power!
The improvements of sCMOS cameras allow you to sample resolution of low magnification objectives effectively, without increasing the exposure time. In a regular PMT-based confocal this is not possible.
