Specifically designed for Image Scanning Microscopy (ISM) but versatile and compatible with all scanning techniques.
Full control of digital and analog devices and multi-sensor imaging capabilities via simultaneous independent acquisition channels.
FPGA-based control system designed and developed by Genoa Instruments and originally used in DiasproLab and VicidominiLab at the Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia (Genova, Italy).

Parallel and independent acquisition from SPAD arrays, APDs, and PMTs.
Real-time FPGA-based system.
Multi-channel Analog/Digital control.
Easily manage Galvo-mirrors, Piezo Stages, Shutters, Lasers, AODs, AOMs.
In the video, we show CARMA user interface in action. We perform super-resolution ISM imaging of fluorescent beads and compare the results with standard confocal imaging.
You'll see how easy it is to set and launch an acquisition, to switch across different imaging modalities (confocal open and closed pinhole, ISM, deconvolution), to control the imaging visualization parameters and to control the laser illumination power.

A field-programmable gate array (FPGA) is an integrated circuit that can be used to implement any logical function that an application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) could perform.
