SIMSCOP Structured Illumination Microscope

SIM Basic - the super-resolution microscopy system that addresses deep biological questions with ease.

Our goal is to make super-resolution accessible to all scientists to advance their research. For this reason, we developed SIM Basic, the first super-resolution module that is compatible with any existing upright or inverted microscope and can be used like a confocal microscope to facilitate access to super-resolved deep data of biological samples.

SIM Basic SIM Spindisk

Three imaging modalities in one setup

By choosing SIM Basic technology, you will be able to create a modular, expandable, and highly performant system, resulting in the creation of a truly enabling technology. The SIM Basic can be used both with SIM Spindisk confocal system as well as independently as a Stand-Alone system for any microscope that has a camera port.

A single click to double confocal resolution

Through the using of a multi-spot structured illumination system, SIM Basic provides reliable, easy-to-use and affordable solutions to study sub-cellular structures with a XY resolution of 100nm without requiring any special sample preparation protocol.

Three methods are available for obtaining deep data

Mouse kidney section. Wheat Germ Agglutinin (WGA, green) and phalloidin (red) markers, 25 Sil, 105 NA acquired with SpinDisk Advance Spinning disk system.	With SIM Basic, large confocal acquisitions can be enhanced by adding a deeper level of detail thanks to super-resolved optical sectioning with Z resolution of up to 300 nm.


Cleared mouse kidney section stained with Alexa Fluor 488 labeling blood vessels. Z stack 76µm and 3D rendering.	It can be used with samples with thicknesses comparable to those used in confocal microscopy, giving super-resolved data over a depth of 50 um. In this way, native heterogeneous complex samples can be investigated more thoroughly using routine preparation protocols.

A two-fold increase in spatial resolution can be obtained using both high magnification (60X, 100X) and low magnification (20X, 40X) objectives, thereby enabling the study of complex 3D models such as tissues, spheroids, organoids, and small organisms.

In order to provide maximum flexibility in fluorophore choice and optimal multichannel imaging without spectral overlap, we have designed the instrument to operate across the entire wavelength spectrum from 400 to 750 nm. By utilizing the dual camera function of the SpinDisk Advance spinning disk system, the SIM Basic can simultaneously acquire multiple channels, resulting in faster acquisition times.

The SIM Basic high-speed acquisition modality allows for the capture of meaningful data at high resolution while minimizing light exposure and therefore. The risk of photo-toxicity. A delicate specimen can be explored using this functionality.

Through a temporal resolution of >10fps (1024 x 1024 px FOV),

deep specimens can be monitiored dynamically for cellular and subcellular changes.

Furthermore, our XY Microscope Piezo Stages has been designed for use our SIMSCOP Series Microscopes to provide motorized XY positioning of microscopy samples. Access for SIMTRUM's XY Microscope Stages can be click here.

Layout

In the past few years there has been a parallel evolution of technology and applications, resulting in an exponential growth of published papers about SR techniques or showing SR in life science applications. However, despite the enormous potential of these techniques, there are still major limitations associated with SR, mostly related to its cost and complexity. Because of several negative connotations, including special sample preparation, poor depth penetration and prohibitive cost, SR is not yet routine in everyday laboratory life.

For these reasons, in SIMTRUM we are working to make SR accessible to all researchers and to advance the potential of their scientific discoveries, moving them to a next level.

Our newest product, the SIM Basic, was developed with this purpose and it is the first SR module based on structured illumination compatible with any existing upright or inverted microscope with a camera port, it is as easy to use as a CF microscope and it enables scientists to access deep data about their biological samples.

In particular, based on a multi-spot structured illumination system, the SIM Basic is able to study cellular structures up to an XY resolution of ~100 nm and a super-resolved optical sectioning, with Z resolution up to ~300 nm, can be obtained using both high (60X-100X) and low (20X-40X) magnification objectives.

The following is our deconstruction of SIM Basic imaging capabilities for several different applications.

Application 1 Structured Illumination Microscopy with Low Magnification Objectives

Application 2 Live-cells Detatils and Dynamics with Structured Illumination Microscopy

Application 3 Deep Structured Illumination Microscopy of Neurobiological Samples

Application 4 Visualization of the Binding Pattern of Monoclonal Antibodies Against Klebsiella Pneumoniae
