The most gentle 3D live cell imaging
Thanks to its patented confocal technology, GAIA Point REscan is a super resolution microscope enabling deep live cell imaging beyond the diffraction limit using only microwatts of power. Our Point REscan is available in two versions, streamlined GAIA α and flagship GAIA λ.
Various GAIA system configurations are available for your specific application needs.

Image deep in super resolution
A combination of low laser power requirements, high sensitivity of the detector and a novel optical design present in GAIA Point REscan enables super resolution beyond 500μm of depth. This makes GAIA Point REscan confocal a perfect solution for live cell super resolution imaging of even thicker specimens like cleared tissue, whole zebrafish embryos, organoids and spheroids.
Image wide in super resolution
The disruptive technology in GAIA provides more than double the field of view in the sample plane compared to its predecessor. Consequently, GAIA enables super resolution imaging over a large FOV and using a wide range of objectives (30X -100X). For the best images high NA objectives are a must.
Concept of RCM Point REscan
Instead of using a single detector, we use a second scanner, i.e. REscanner, which is synchronized with the first scanner and REscans the emission light onto a camera.
This way the signal automatically ends up at the right place on the camera and the image is reconstructed all by itself.
Optical redesign in GAIA Point REscan confocal
For GAIA, our revolutionary new Point REscan confocal, we added bespoke optical elements before and after the pinhole. This provides the improvement of resolution beyond the diffraction limit while increasing the effective field of view (FOV).
As an added value, we introduced a motorized switchable pinhole that enables perfect confocality for a wide range of objectives (4X-100X). For proper super resolution, one should use high NA objectives.
