To ensure successful time-lapse observation of live cells, your microscope system must maintain constant environmental control, suppress any phototoxicity and photobleaching, and provide stable imaging. We offer reliable live cell imaging solutions featuring silicone oil immersion objectives optimized to the refractive index of live cells. The live cell imaging software that supports our inverted imaging platforms enables you to quickly and easily set up complex experiment protocols and
configure precise functions such as incubation, maintaining the focus position using the motorized stage, and illumination control. Each inverted live cell imaging platform meets the broad demands of live cell observation applications, from cellular level interactions to small structure in organelles, through the combined capabilities of TIRF, confocal, and super resolution imaging.
The APEXVIEW™ APX100 benchtop fluorescence microscope makes it fast and simple to acquire expert-quality microscope images. Built with our renowned optics, an intuitive user interface, a powerful AI, and a suite of smart features, the APX100 system combines ease of use with high-quality image data to fit your research needs.
The IXplore SpinSR system is our confocal super resolution microscope optimized for 3D imaging of live cell specimens. Like the IXplore Spin system, it has a spinning disk system for fast 3D imaging while limiting phototoxicity and bleaching. However, it achieves super resolution images down to 120 nm XY and enables you to switch between widefield, confocal, and super resolution with the click of a button.
