Product Description
Technology
TissueFAXS SPECTRA is based on a liquid crystal tunable filter and the spectral unmixing engine of StrataQuest analysis software. Liquid crystal tunable filters are optical filters that use electronically controlled liquid crystal elements to transmit a selectable wavelength range of light and exclude others. They can be tuned to specific wavelengths within the visible spectrum at high speed. This makes them ideal for a quick building of lambda stacks (spectral cubes), which are essential for spectral unmixing.
This technology allows the analysis of the tissue architecture, in-depth immunophenotyping, as well as exploring spatial relationships.
TissueFAXS SPECTRA SL
All imaging systems are modular and upgradable. Every system can be customized to offer the following capabilities: brightfield scanning, widefield fluorescence, confocal, multispectral as well as high-throughput. To exemplify TissueFAXS SPECTRA can be upgraded to the high-throughput TissueFAXS SPECTRA SL (image on the left side),
-
high-throughput scanning in multispectral fluorescence, widefield fluorescence as well as brightfield mode
-
fully automated loading/scanning of 120 slides at a time
-
three 40 slide magazines with each magazine containing 20 two slide metal clips for a total of 120 standard slides.
-
alternatively 60 double sized slides
-
this system also supports TMA scanning
