TissueFAXS SPECTRA 
Multispectral Tissue Cytometer

TissueFAXS SPECTRA Systems Provide Multispectral Imaging, Spectral Unmixing And Contextual Tissue Cytometry Image Analysis On The Basis Of The TissueFAXS Platform.

SPECTRA Technology Is Available On Any TissueFAXS System Configuration, Be It Upright, Inverted, TissueFAXS Histo, TissueFAXS Fluo, TissueFAXS PLUS Or Slide Loader-based (SL).

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
