Fast Structured Illumination Microscopy for Live Cell Imaging
Applied Precision is pleased to introduce the OMX Blaze™ system. Incorporating a proprietary, ultra-fast, structured illumination module and the latest advanced high speed camera technologies, the OMX Blaze system represents a new level in the evolution of super-resolution imaging technologies. Capable of fast 3D-SIM, the system can also acquire 2D-SIM images at near video rates and blazing fast Widefield acquisition, making live cell super-resolution imaging a reality.

- Monet™ Localization Microscopy optional
Introducing DeltaVision Monet™, a patent pending localization microscopy technique that utilizes a mixed model fitting procedure to localize fluorophore positions. Monet overcomes the limitation of PALM and STORM techniques with the ability to localize multiple fluorophores within overlapping image spots. This allows a denser activation/switching scheme during image acquisition. As a result, fewer images are required per sample, increasing the speed of image collection and processing as well as reducing artifacts caused by the sample.
