Advanced Multimodal Microscopy
Systems and Solutions

Established in 1995 by a group of cell biologists, neuroscientists, and computer scientists to provide advanced multi-dimensional microscopy systems for the biological research community, 3i designs and manufactures multimodal fluorescence microscopy systems for live cell, intravital, and cleared-specimen applications. 3i offers the latest methods and techniques ranging from super-resolution spinning disk confocal to spatial light modulator (SLM)-based holographic photomanipulation to multiphoton imaging to lightsheet. SlideBook software manages everything from instrument control to image capture, processing and data analysis in a single intuitive software package.

Neutrophils and platelets in the inflamed cremasteric venules of a WT mouse, 3h after local injection of TNFa. Cells are labeled by injection of low amounts of antibodies anti-Ly6G conjugated to DyLight649, anti-CD41 conjugated to PE and anti-CD62P conjugated to FITC. The movie shows the dynamic capture and release of platelets (red) by a crawling neutrophil (white), some of which are activated as indicated by the expression of CD62P (green).

CSU_X

Spinning disk confocal with single- or dual- camera options and up to 6-position filter wheel for very high-speed 3D imaging (up to 10,000rpm/2,000fps).

CSU_W

Double-disk design with motorized bypass and large field of view, single- or dual-camera options and up to 10-position filter wheel for high speed 3D imaging.

CSU-W1 SoRa (Super-Resolution via Optical Re-Assignment) enables easy-to-use super-resolution imaging that “just works”.

3i_VectorTIRF

Motorized spinning X,Y TIRF system for large-field, even TIRF illumination

3i_Phasor

Computer-generated holography system for photomanipulation via shapes, hand-drawn regions, and diffraction-limited spots in multiple 3D locations.

3i_vector

Diffraction limited high speed X,Y scanner for line and ROI interest scanning. Enables rapid direction of all photomanipulation including laser injury, uncaging, activation and bleaching.

Attenuatable 355nm or 532nm pulse laser (>60µJ pulses at 200Hz) capable of inflicting localized damage to a diffraction-limited spot in intracellular structures for precise laser ablation and laser wounding.

3i_LaserStack

Modular laser light source with up to six (6) customizable solid state diode lasers and four (4) fiber optic outputs with sub-millisecond switching and on/off times.

Optical path selector with rapid 1ms selection of up to three (3) optical output (or input) paths for one input (or output) path.

Motorized, easy-to-use spherical aberration correction for mSwitcher.

TTL

TTL Synchronization (TTL Sync) provides sophisticated, reliable electronic control of carefully timed devices in a microscopy system with a combination of custom-designed TTL electronics and SlideBook software.

SlideBook digital microscopy software advances research microscopy through the entire experimental process. By managing everything from instrumentcontrol to image processing and data analysis, SlideBook allows scientists to focus on investigation rather than instrumentation.
