The development of the Nikon Spatial Array Confocal (NSPARC) detector started at Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia.
We interviewed Professor Alberto Diaspro, Dr. Paolo Bianchini, and Dr. Giuseppe Vicidomini, who worked on research and development at the Nikon Imaging Center (NIC@IIT) and the Molecular Microscopy and Spectroscopy (MMS) Lab in the IIT.
🕒 Timestamps:
00:00 - Overview
00:07 - The starting point of NSPARC's development
00:38 - Main involvement in the product development
01:54 - The background to the development of NSPARC
02:17 - The greatest benefit of NSPARC
03:22 - Plans for the future

🌱✨ One of the fascinating examples featured in our recent webinar “Calcium Imaging in Plants: From Single Organelles to Whole Organisms” by Professor Alex Costa showed how a wound to a single leaf can trigger a calcium signal that spreads throughout the entire Arabidopsis plant.
🔬Using advanced imaging techniques, researchers can visualize these dynamic signaling events in real time, revealing how plants respond to their environment.
