NANORO Generation: The Most Powerful Optical Microscope on the Market Engineered for a New Imaging Era
With almost 10 years of specialized experience in the design and development of super-resolution optical systems - which have been successfully implemented in prestigious laboratories and research institutions across the globe - LIG Nanowise has condensed its technical expertise and engineering excellence into the Nanoro Generation microscope.
The Nanoro Generation advances the field of optical microscopy by building on the demonstrated capabilities of the Nanoro M platform.
With its wireless joystick and full automation, the microscope provides precise, user-friendly control. A desktop-sized, front-mounted display offers an ergonomic, appealing, and immersive user experience, raising the bar for scientific apparatus use.
The Nanoro Generation is not only a super-resolution microscope but also an excellent lab tool for those who need a sturdy, dependable scanning optical microscope with amazing imaging capabilities.
Additionally, the Nanoro Generation can be tailored for mid-IR uses.

High-precision image stitching was used to obtain a 25 mm x 25 mm scan for large area scanning. Super-resolution imaging requires ultra-fine focus control, which is made possible by 40 mm Z travel with 100 nm precision.
A 23.5" ultra-HD display displays real-time, true-color images with sub-100 nm resolution from a high-performance CMOS camera. Bright, consistent white light is produced by cold, white LEDs, which guarantee steady, low-heat lighting that is ideal for delicate samples.
Blue Mode Illumination
By using narrowband blue light (440–460 nm), LIG Nanowise takes advantage of the wavelength dependence of resolution, increasing picture contrast and showing smaller nanoscale details as small as 60 nm. This bridges the gap between optical and electron microscopy.

Targeted Spectroscopy
The incorporation of spectroscopy is one of the key innovations of the Nanoro Generation. Nanoro facilitates localized, focused spectroscopic research, concentrating on areas as small as 1 square micron, by leveraging the system's extremely short working distance and the SMAL lens's intrinsically limited field of view.

Iris Motion System
The microsphere can be precisely aligned with the light beam thanks to the microscope's motorized iris adjustment. This guarantees consistent and reliable near-field coupling, which is essential for attaining reliable super-resolution performance.
Furthermore, the optical system is designed to use the iris diaphragm as an active contrast enhancement mechanism at all objective magnifications - 4×, 10×, 20×, 60×, and 100× (with or without immersion) - providing the best contrast and clarity in images under a variety of optical situations.

Nanoro Software Suite
Users can create large-area, high-resolution images using sophisticated scanning and stitching techniques, making nanostructures visible with an easy-to-use, efficient approach.
Both software and a joystick can be used to access all of the microscope's features, including XYZ motions, iris control, and light intensity control.
