Aurox Unity

The Aurox Unity is the first in a new breed of all-in-one, compact laser-free confocal microscope systems designed for ease of access and ease of use in your laboratory, at your bench.

Unity brings together in one fully integrated, compact and easy to use microscope, everything you need for confocal imaging, including:

• Motorized X‐Y‐Z stage
• Laser‐free confocal
• Integrated LED light source
• Integrated sCMOS detector
• Customizable objective lens
• Integrated image server
• Tablet interface
• Visionary software

Motorized X‐Y‐Z stage

Unity’s motorized X‐Y‐Z stage has been designed for use with a wide range of samples and sample mounts commonly used in biological research, including slides, multi‐well plates and Petri dishes.

Laser‐free Confocal

Designed around Aurox’s laser‐free confocal technology, Unity combines Aurox’s patented structured illumination spinning disc with state‐of‐the‐art technology and a unique, novel optical arrangement. The results are high‐quality confocal images recorded quickly and easily in your laboratory.

Integrated Light Source

Laser‐free, Unity uses a proven multi‐spectral LED light source based on the CoolLED pE‐300Ultra. The result is a high‐performance confocal microscope, which is free of laser safety restrictions and benefits from low phototoxicity, low photobleaching, low maintenance and low cost of ownership.

Integrated sCMOS Detector

At the heart of Unity is a specially‐designed large‐format, high‐performance sCMOS digital detector. This detector is used to record both high‐resolution confocal and widefield images as well as ultra‐large‐field‐of‐view full‐overview images of the sample or mount.

Customizable Objective Lens

Unity comes ready to use, with an integrated objective lens. Your preferred objective lens can be selected from a range of options chosen to match your research applications.

Integrated Image Server

Unity does more than just collect high quality confocal imaging data. It also stores your data in an integrated OMERO image server database and makes your data accessible to you, wherever you are, over a secure network.

Tablet Interface

For ease of user interface and control, Unity comes complete, with a large‐format tablet computer, which communicates directly with Unity over a secure private wireless connection.

Visionary Software

Set‐up, control and review of your imaging experiment has never been easier. Using a full function Web browser version of the Aurox Visionary software, you can simply remote connect to Unity over the network.

Often referred to as the ‘easiest to use’ and ‘most beautiful’ of confocal microscope software, Visionary presents all experiment set‐up and device controls in one color‐coded work-flow under a single graphical user interface window.

Visionary enables:

• Z‐stack, time‐lapse & multi‐channel imaging;
• Confocal, widefield & brightfield modes;
• High or medium sectioning & high‐signal confocal modes;
• Storage of data in OME‐TIFF format for deconvolution, processing, and analysis via ImageJ, Fiji, Huygens;
• One‐click image export.

Connect Unity

Designed for the laboratory benchtop, Unity is extremely compact and weighs <18 Kg.

Gone is the tangle of cables. Unity requires a single power cable and optionally a network cable.

For the rare need, Unity also incorporates multiple USB 3.0 ports at front and rear.
