Advantages of CENTAURTM:
Dual independent scanners (in the head and in the base);
Multiply simultaneous signal recording (confocal, spectra, topography, phase, etc.);
Full spectra recording in each scan point;
Integration with virtually unmodified upright or inverted optical microscopes to work with transparent and none
transparent samples;
Modern cross-platform software for all the CENTAURTM units.
