ImageXpress® Ultra Confocal High Content Screening System by Molecular Devices®

Under control of state-of-the-art MetaXpress® Software, research-quality images of fixed- or live-cell assays are captured with the best possible resolution. Diverse samples can be imaged with excellent signal-to-noise, even when there is a high background, as in homogeneous, no wash assays, or when samples are thick such as tissue sections or neurons growing in matrix.


Features:

• True laser scanning confocal system ensures a diverse set of samples can be imaged with excellent signal-to-noise ratio.
• Software configurable detection pinhole provides two orders of magnitude of Z-resolution flexibility (<1 um to > 100 um) over fixed pinhole confocal systems.
• Simultaneous or sequential scanning with up to 4 solid state lasers facilitates simultaneous acquisition for optimal speed performance (up to 4 times faster) or unique sequential scanning in combination with high resolution z-offset to correct for objective lens induced chromatic aberrations.
• Fully automated 100 nm resolution voice coil driven stages provide positioning accuracy to capture intricate sub-cellular features as well as monitor long structures, such as neurons, across high resolution tiled or stitched images.
