ZIVA Illumination Engine

Modern Illumination for CSU-X1 Spinning Disk Confocal Systems

The Lumencor ZIVA Light Engine provides a solid-state illumination upgrade path for Yokogawa CSU-X1 spinning disk confocal microscopes. It delivers stable, multi-line excitation in a compact, pre-aligned system designed to support high-speed and quantitative imaging.

When paired with the CSU-X1, ZIVA replaces legacy laser configurations with a solid-state source that offers improved power stability, simplified integration, and expanded multicolor flexibility. This approach extends the performance and lifespan of existing confocal systems while maintaining compatibility with established workflows.

Benefits of a ZIVA-Powered CSU-X1

  • Seven laser lines supporting expanded multicolor panels
  • Approximately 100 mW per wavelength at the fiber output for fast, bright imaging
  • Uniform, speckle-reduced illumination optimized for quantitative and live-cell experiments
  • TTL control for precise timing and high-speed acquisition
  • Solid-state, pre-aligned design with minimal maintenance requirements
  • Compact footprint suited for retrofit installations
  • Software-driven control synchronized with the CSU-X1 and camera
