The Revolution XD and WD Systems provide a framework for Andor’s laser spinning disk, live-cell confocal
microscopy solutions, which combine our award winning iXon Electron Multiplying CCD (EMCCD) camera
with the renowned Yokogawa CSU-X1 and CSU-W1.
The typical Revolution XD or WD System (shown below) encompasses a range of complementary
components, both hardware and software, that fit seamlessly together creating a complete confocal
microscopy solution. A flexible component focus also allows us to provide key pieces of hardware as stand-
alone.
