Global hyperspectral microscope
IMA is a hyperspectral microscope delivering spectral and spatial information in the VIS, NIR, and SWIR range (400 nm – 1620 nm). This system rapidly maps photoluminescence, electroluminescence, fluorescence, reflectance, and transmittance. Based on high throughput global-imaging filters, IMA is faster and more efficient than standard point-by-point or line-scan based systems.
IMA Applications Overview
- Perform complex material analyses such as solar cell characterization and semiconductor quality control
- Study of sample formation, degradation and identification of deficient areas
- Imaging of multiplexed emitters
- Access to the second biological window (900 – 1620 nm)
- Mapping of spectral heterogeneities
- Study IR markers in complex environments including live cells and tissue.
- Fast imaging – 1.4 million spectra in minutes
- Retrieve darkfield images and obtain a contrast of transparent and unstained samples such as polymers, crystals or live cells.
Dragonfly High Speed Confocal Microscope System
Dragonfly delivers outstanding multi-dimensional images from subcellular (nm) to whole organism (cm), while significantly boosting productivity.
Its unrivalled combination of speed and sensitivity allows researchers to discover unforeseen dynamic events and image live organisms for days. The new B-TIRF and super resolution modules reveal smaller details, such as the dynamics of viral infection and the ultrastructure of chromatin or organelles.
Dragonfly is a high-contrast multi-dimensional imaging platform capable of four key imaging modalities. At its core is a multi-point confocal for high-speed and high-sensitivity imaging. Capturing at speeds at least 10x faster than conventional confocal technology, with dramatically improved sensitivity from 400-800 nm. Dragonfly is the optimal solution for live cell imaging, providing low phototoxicity and photobleaching, or perfect for fast volume acquisition of fixed samples.
SWIR Lenses – 1.0 to 2.9 µm
The HypIRia are wide-aperture, image-space telecentric lenses precisely crafted to provide clear and bright images in the SWIR spectral range. A broadband anti-reflective coating on carefully selected glass delivers high throughput and low-aberration imaging on a range extending from 1.0 to 2.9 µm.
A translational focus provides excellent stability during focusing. Robustly built, they are well suited for industrial applications or field work.
Three focal lengths are currently available.
Deeply Cooled InGaAs Camera
The ZephIR 1.7 is a high-end, scientific grade, 640 x 512 pixels resolution, InGaAs camera that marries performance with reliability. It has extremely low noise levels, high efficiency, and a rapid frame rate compatible with an external trigger. This is made possible by a combination of state-of-the-art control electronics and a four stage thermoelectric cooler (TEC) which can maintain an operating temperature as low as -80 °C. The TEC, in turn, uses forced air cooling which requires none of the maintenance of a water or liquid nitrogen chilled unit.
