FLUOVIEW—More Advanced than Ever
The Olympus FLUOVIEW FV1000 confocal laser scanning microscope delivers
efficient and reliable performance together with the high resolution required for
multi-dimensional observation of cell and tissue morphology, and precise
molecular localization. The FV1000 incorporates the industry’s first dedicated
laser light stimulation scanner to achieve simultaneous targeted laser stimulation
and imaging for real-time visualization of rapid cell responses. The FV1000 also
measures diffusion coefficients of intracellular molecules, quantifying molecular
kinetics. Quite simply, the FLUOVIEW FV1000 represents a new plateau, bringing
“imaging to analysis.”
Olympus continues to drive forward the development of FLUOVIEW
microscopes, using input from researchers to meet their evolving demands and
bringing “imaging to analysis.”

Scanners/Detection
High Sensitivity Detection System
High-sensitivity and high S/N ratio optical
performance is achieved through the
integration of a pupil projection lens, use
of a high sensitivity photomultiplier tube
and an analog processing circuit with
minimal noise. Enables high S/N ratio
image acquisition with minimal laser power
to reduce phototoxicity.
Up to Four PMT Channels
Three integrated confocal PMT detectors,
and optional module with fourth confocal
PMT expandable up to four PMT channels.
Two Versions of Light Detection System
• Spectral detection for high-precision
spectroscopy with 2 nm resolution.
• Filter detection equipped with high
quality filter wheels.

Olympus UIS2 objectives offer worldleading, infinity-corrected optics that
deliver unsurpassed optical performance
over a wide range of wavelengths.
High S/N Ratio Objectives with
Suppressed Autofluorescence
Olympus offers a line of high numerical
aperture objectives with improved
fluorescence S/N ratio, including
objectives with exceptional correction for

and image acquisition matched to
fluorescence wavelength peaks.
User adjustable bandwidth of

bright images with minimal crosstalk.
Precise Spectral Imaging
The spectral detection unit uses a grating method that offers
linear dispersion compared with prism dispersion. The unit
provides 2 nm wavelength resolution to high-sensitivity
photomultiplier tube detectors. Fluorescence separation can be
achieved through unmixing, even when cross-talk is generated
by multiple fluorescent dyes with similar peaks.

Combines the main scanner with a dedicated laser light
stimulation scanner for investigating the trafficking of fluorescentlabeled molecules and marking of specific live cells.
Simultaneous Laser Light Stimulation and Imaging
Performs simultaneous laser light stimulation and imaging to
acquire images of immediate cell responses to
stimulation in photobleaching experiments.
Modifiable Stimulation Area During Imaging
The stimulation area can be moved to a different position on the
cell during imaging, providing a powerful tool for photoactivation
and photoconversion experiments.
Wide Choice of Bleaching Modes
Various scan modes can be used for both the observation area
and stimulation area. Enables free-form bleaching of designated
points, lines, free-lines, rectangles and circles.

Laser Sharing with Main Scanner
Dual fiber laser combiner provides laser sharing between the SIM
scanner and main scanner, eliminating the need to add a
separate laser for stimulation.
Unique "Tornado" Scanning for Efficient Bleaching
Conventional raster scanning does not always complete
photobleaching quickly. Tornado scanning greatly improves
bleaching efficiency by significantly reducing unnecessary
scanning.
