LabSmith, manufacturer of precision electronics, has introduced the new EPI epifluorescence optics modules for the SVM340 video microscope.
The EPI optics modules are ideal for applications where enhanced signal-to-noise ratio and higher wavelength discrimination are needed. The modules are also suitable for biological and microfluidics applications such as microparticle image velocimetry and cell imaging.
SVM340 Microscope
The addition of the epifluorescence capabilities to the SVM340 microscope will allow researchers to see and record flows using resolution, limits of detection and enhanced selectivity. The SVM microscope integrates a sequencing software, staging, sensitive video output and synchronous pulsed fluorescence illumination to capture the events occurring in the microfluidics systems. Image processing and capture software and interchangeable optics modules reduce the learning curve to acquire publication-quality images.
LabSmith provides EPI-green and EPI-blue modules that are ideal for imaging CY-3 and FITC conjugates, respectively. Every EPI module features an objective mount, an LED illuminator, a dichroic mirror, emission and excitation filters, and a high-sensitivity camera. The SVM340 microscope also has a 4-channel LED ring illuminator to promote enhanced intensity.
