Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="main" xml:lang="en"> <title>Abstract</title> <p>To change the constraints of the traditional microscope system, Olympus has developed an new open source microscopy concept, based on the inverted IX3 microscope frame series. Designed around an accessible infinite light path concept, optical modules can be easily exchanged, moulding the microscope to the diverse requirements of the user. The series suits anything from routine observation to advanced imaging techniques in all live cell applications. Figure 1 shows an image taken using a semi‐confocal observation method with a disc‐scanning unit. The frames can be easily adapted to apply such observation methods.</p> </abstract>
