Principles of Spinning disk confocal
The most common conventional confocal microscopes use a single laser beam to scan a specimen, while the CSU scans the field of view with approximately 1,000 laser beams, by using microlens-enhanced Nipkow-disk scanning: in short, CSU can scan 1,000 times faster.
By using a disk containing microlens arrays in combination with the Nipkow disk, we have succeeded in dramatically improving the light efficiency and thus successfully made real-time confocal imaging of live cells possible.
The expanded and collimated laser beam illuminates the upper disk containing about 20,000 microlenses (microlens array disk). Each microlens focuses the laser beam onto its corresponding pinhole, thus, effectively increasing laser intensity through pinholes placed in the pinhole array disk (Nipkow disk).
With the microlens, backscattering of laser light at the surface of the pinhole disk can be significantly reduced, thus, dramatically increasing the signal to noise ratio (S/N) of confocal images.
About 1,000 laser beams passing through each of the pinholes fill the aperture of the objective lens, and are then focused on the focal plane. Fluorescence generated from the specimen is captured by the objective lens and focused back onto the pinhole disk, transmitted through the same holes to eliminate out-of-focus signals, deflected by the dichroic mirror located between microlens array disk and the Nipkow disk to split fluorescence signal from reflected laser, passed through emission filter and then focused into the image plane in the eyepiece or camera.
The microlens array disk and the Nipkow disk are physically fixed to each other and are rotated to scan the entire field of view at high speeds, thus, making it possible to view confocal fluorescent images in real-time through the eyepiece of the CSU head.
As compared to conventional single point scanning, multi beam scanning by the CSU requires a significantly low level of light intensity per unit area, which results in significantly reduced photo bleaching and phototoxicity in live cells.

ASCB/EMBO 2018 December 9-11, 2018 -Tech talks- December 9, 3:00-4:00 pm – Theater 2, Learning Center Super Resolution Confocal Scanner Unit CSU-W1 Sora Presenter: Takuya Azuma: Chief designer of CSU-W1 Sora, Yokogawa will introduce our brand-new product “CSU-W1 SoRa.” This is a spinning disk based super resolution confocal scanner unit. In this talk, we will introduce features and principles of this product and we will show beautiful image samples taken by “CSU-W1 SoRa”. Features of “CSU-W1 SoRa”: 1) XY resolution of approx. 120nm. XY resolution has been improved by approximately 1.4x the optical limit based on spinning-disk confocal technology. Furthermore, a final resolution approximately twice the optical limit is realized through deconvolution. 2) Ideal for super-resolution live cell imaging. Just like the CSU, high-speed real time imaging can be performed with super-resolution. In addition, live cell imaging is possible, reducing bleaching and phototoxicity. 3) The CSU is easy to use. Super-resolution images can be observed in real time without any specific preparation of sample. Deep position observation is made possible through optical sectioning based on confocal technology. 4) Upgradable from CSU-W1. If you already have CSU-W1, you can add SoRa disk. |

Comparison between CSU and conventional LSM in 4D movies.
To investigate interactive dynamics of the intracellular structures and organelles in the stomatal movement through live imaging technique, a CSU system was used to capture 3-dimensional images (XYZN) and time-laps images (XYT) of guard cells.
The CQ1 confocal image acquisition mechanism with the distinctive CSU® unit has a function to sequentially acquire fine cell images along the Z-axis and capture information from the entire thickness of
cells which include heterogenic populations of various cell cycle stages. In addition, saved digital images can be useful for precise observation and analysis of spatial distribution of intracellular molecules.
The CQ1 capability to seamlessly analyze images and obtain data for things such as cell population statistics to individual cell morphology will provide benefits for both basic research and drug discovery
