The revolutionary ImageStream®X Mark II Imaging Flow Cytometer combines the speed, sensitivity, and phenotyping abilities of flow cytometry with the detailed imagery and functional insights of microscopy. This unique combination enables a broad range of applications that would be impossible using either technique alone. This instrument produces multiple high-resolution images of every cell directly in flow, including brightfie…

The X-Cite® 120PC Q system uses a 120-watt lamp to deliver rich spectral excitation with a uniformly illuminated field of view, the convenience of pre-aligned lamps, 2000 hour lamp lifetime, and adjustable iris - with the added benefit of being computer controllable. The straightforward RS-232 command set easily allows integration into automated systems as well as commercially available imaging software platforms. The X-Cite®…

The X-Cite® Optical Power Measurement System includes both the X-Cite® XR2100 Power Meter and the X-Cite® XP750 Objective Plane Power Sensor. Designed for measuring optical power in watts at the specimen level, the X-Cite® XP750 has a low, sleek profile that fits on the microscope stage and offers the versatility of measuring power output from an X-Cite® illuminator or any other epi-fluorescence light source.

The SIU-102 is an ideal unit for providing cell stimulus in an imaging application. Unfortunately, the SIU-102 is not compatible with electrophysiological applications. This instrument features optical isolation at the input and transformer isolation at the output. Timing pulses can be controlled by any device capable of generating a TTL level positive pulse (for example, a computer with data acquisition). Positive or negati…

The Vortex II Precision Series Single Mode Finely-Tuned Lasers provide the most stable open-loop performance available today. Low frequency jitter is combined with narrow linewidth. Choose the TLB-6904-OI for wavelengths from 632.5 to 640 nm. When ordering, please specify the exact center wavelength (to 10 pm) in vacuum. Part number includes complete laser system and the Vortex 6000 Laser Controller. Heads and controllers can…

The next step in automation. Sakura Finetek can now provide your laboratory with a total solution for film coverslipping linked to a multiple slide stainer for both routine and special staining. With the Tissue-Tek® Film® Coverslipper, linked to the Tissue-Tek® Prisma® Automated Slide Stainer, the user can just walk away and unload the Tissue-Tek® Film® after 12 baskets have been coverslipped, by taking out the convenient ca…

Gain entrance to the Raman world today – Stay flexible for emerging challenges tomorrow

FlowCam ® Nano provides dynamic image analysis of submicron particles from 300 nm to 2 µm, bridging the gap between traditional flow imaging microscopy and other particle analysis techniques. Use FlowCam Nano for early detection of aggregates and contaminant monitoring for protein formulations, nano-drug delivery systems, characterization of bacteria, bioprocess monitoring, and materials characterization.
