The next generation lab imaging platform.
- With most imaging systems a decision between application flexibility and image quality has to be made
- Next generation laser scanning system which offers the best of both worlds
- Unparalleled flexibility with excellent sensitivity and image quality
- Capture software will deliver high quality quantifiable data
Up to four solid state lasers (488, 520, 658 and 784 nm) offering ultimate excitation sensitivity. Photon multiplier tube (PMT) for fluorescence and phosphor imaging, avalanche photodiodies (APD) for near-infrared imaging and a CCD sensor for chemiluminescent and visible imaging. Ultra-wide dynamic range for imaging and quantifying low and high abundance samples simultaneously. Image resolution down to 10 microns for high-quality image analysis.
