Keyence’s BZ‑X1000 delivers 3.5× higher resolution, 5× faster imaging

Keyence’s new BZ‑X1000 Series All‑in‑one Fluorescence Microscope combines publication-quality imaging with bench-top convenience—no darkroom required. Impressively versatile, this system supports structured illumination, live-cell imaging, image cytometry, and more, making it a powerful asset for research labs.

Performance That Elevates Imaging

The BZ‑X1000 features a 10 MP monochrome CMOS camera delivering 3.5× higher resolution and a broad-spectrum high-power LED for lower exposure, preserving sensitive samples.

Multi‑Modal Flexibility

This platform handles fluorescence, brightfield, and phase-contrast modalities and extends easily to structured illumination, live-cell recording, whole-slide scanning, and well-plate cytometry.

Precision Fluorescence & Speed

Equipped with both filter wheel and turret—up to 11 configurable channels—this system achieves imaging speeds up to 5× faster than conventional tools, ideal for dynamic assays.

Smart Stitching & Open Data

Advanced Auto Navigation focuses on sample-containing regions only, stitching efficiently. Users can export OME-TIFFs with metadata, ensuring smooth integration with ImageJ and other platforms.

Key Features:

• 3.5× higher resolution via 10 MP CMOS

• Up to 11 fluorescence channels (dual filter system)

• 5× faster image capture (filter wheel)

• Modular darkroom-free, bench-top footprint

• Efficient stitching driven by sample detection

• OME‑TIFF output for broad software compatibility

The BZ‑X1000 is a robust, expanded optical platform for research labs seeking high-resolution, high-throughput imaging on the desktop.
