Using traditional fluorescence microscopes for everyday cell imaging can be frustrating, with a lot of time spent in the darkroom mastering a highly specialized piece of equipment, all to accomplish relatively simple tasks. The ZOE Fluorescent Cell Imager eliminates the complexities of cell imaging by combining the ease of use of a personal tablet with the power of an inverted microscope. An intuitive touch-screen interface is used to control brightfield, three fluorescence channels, and the integrated digital camera. This allows users to view samples, capture and store images, and create multicolor overlays.
The ZOE Cell Imager features:
- Robust system ready for intensive daily use, with long-lasting LED display, integrated light shield, and hard-coated filter sets
- Three fluorescence channels are optimized for most commonly used fluorescent proteins and dyes
- Large field of view and motorized stage allow for easy viewing of large samples using touchscreen controls
- Easy image capture with integrated digital camera; storage, editing, multichannel image merges using embedded software; and export in JPEG, TIFF, or RAW formats
- Small footprint for easy benchtop use
The ZOE Cell Imager is ideally suited for these applications:
- Estimating cell confluency
- Observing general cell health and morphology
- Monitoring cell growth and proliferation
- Capturing brightfield or fluorescence images of cells
- Visualizing expression of fluorescent proteins
- Viewing immunofluorescent localization of proteins
- Estimating transfection efficiency
