About the service
Image Stream® Mk-II Imaging Flow Cytometry combines the capabilities of flow cytometry with the detailed imagery of microscopy that enables simultaneous measurement of integrated optical parameters of the cells in the flow and acquisition of their digital fluorescent images.
Equipment Specifications:
- 1 CCD camera. Multispectral imaging systems acquire 6 images per cell in three imaging modes: brightfield, darkfield and fluorescence.
- 3 objectives lenses (20x, 40x y 60x)
- 4 excitation lasers: UV (405 nm), blue (488 nm), red (642 nm) and far red (785 nm) for side scatter.
- Extended Depth of Field (EDF) keeps the depth of the cell in focus without loss of fluorescence sensitivity.
- Software: INSPIRE / IDEAS 6.2
Applications:
The field of application includes any discipline that investigates living elements (from cells to microorganisms) or inert elements (polymers, particles) in a liquid medium and with a size of less than 100 microns.
