4 Spectral detectors: 1 GaAsp and 2 multialkali PMT's and 1 Airyscan.

The Airyscan detector is based on a 32 GaAsP photosensitive elements honeycomb array allowing the capture of the full airy disc and further reconstruction of the source object with increased sensitivity and resolution. Due to the fact it bypasses the pinhole the light gathering capability of the Airyscan detector is increased 4x-8x.

Solid state laser 405nm, 30 mW Plan-Apo 40x/1.4NA Oil TexasRed/Cy3/RFP The Airyscan module resolution:
1.7x improvement of resolution in all dimensions
140nm lateral and 400nm axial resolutions at 488nm excitation.
Multiline Argon laser 458/488/514nm, 25 mW Plan-Apo 63x/1.40 Oil  

Live cell imaging with CO2 and temperature software controlled

This systems is capable of acquiring images at 8fps at 512x512 in confocal mode, 1.6fps at 512x512 in Airyscan superresolution mode without pixel averaging
