Which option is best for you?

Get in contact now, an expert from our team will help you configure the optimal solution.

PRISM-Light is the best option for expert users building their own laser-scanning setups. It offers our ISM technology at its best, while allowing for maximum flexibility and integration freedom. You can choose among different OEM configurations and decide whether you want to adopt CARMA control platform or you prefer to implement your own acquisition protocols.

PRISM-Add-on is the optimal solution if you want to have a traditional microscope body, but still want to have access to the latest ISM super-resolution technology offered by Genoa Instruments. PRISM-Add-on is also well-suited for the upgrade of exhisting confocal and widefield systems.

PRISM-Desktop is our top-notch solution for super-resolution microscopy, it offers spatial and temporal super-resolution combined into the same instrument, it's portable, and it comes fully equipped with our CARMA control software.

alignment diagnostic tools.

Software

Let's introduce CARMA

Our FPGA-based software platform for real-time image acquisition and processing.

CARMA has been specifically designed by our team for controlling PRISM technology. It is conceived for working with Image Scanning Microscopy technique but it is versatile and compatible with all scanning techniques.

All PRISM configurations can be equipped with CARMA, the best control software for ISM imaging. While PRISM-Desktop includes CARMA by default, for PRISM-Light and PRISM-Add-on CARMA is optional.

The platform is based on the latest FPGA technology, it allows full control of digital and analog devices and it offers the best performance for multi-sensor imaging thanks to its simultaneous independent acquisition capabilities.

Not only for PRISM... CARMA can indeed be used also to control custom laser-scannig microscopes.
It was originally used in DiasproLab and VicidominiLab at the Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia.

Applications

Discover PRISM unique capabilities

Use your regular fluorescent dyes and image your sample with improved spatial resolution while maintaining confocal capabilities.

Fluorescence imaging

Take advantage of better SNR in order to image deeper in your sample.

Deep imaging

Use 10 times lower illumination power (with respect to standard confocal) for less photodamage and photobleaching.

Live-cell multicolor imaging

Explore temporal dimension and perform FLIM experiments.
