Till Photonics, developer of light sources and imaging systems, has launched a new digital microscope that provides enhanced penetration depth and removes photodamage. The iMIC digital microscope also offers improved live-cell imaging and 3-D resolution and decreases tissue damage.
iMIC Microscope
The two-photon iMIC microscope is ideal for fluorescence imaging of thick tissues. The laser-scanning platform, when integrated with voice coil-based focus drive, allows 3-D scans to be conducted with precision and high volume. The microscope’s compact footprint helps in saving space.
The microscope’s Colibri LaserScan software provides complete control over the fundamental setup and offers the versatility of incorporating additional components into the system. The microscope has numerous features such as a speed-based scan description, versatile line speeds from 40 µs, a pixel time of less than 1 µs, and a digital galvo control.
The iMIC microscope also features a maximum of four channels, two for transmission fluorescence and two for epifluorescence observation. It has a fixed 4-MHz sampling speed, line scan, spot scan, arbitrary scan tracks, and bidirectional scanning capabilities.
