QImaging has launched an all-in-one camera package that supports demanding live cell fluorescence imaging requirements.
The Live Cell Imaging Package provides researchers with the sensitivity of EMCCD and the versatility of sCMOS camera technologies by combining QImaging’s Rolera Thunder EMCCD and optiMOS sCMOS cameras.
Modern cell biology can require an array of optical imaging methods, with a compromise often being made between sensitivity and frame rates or image resolution.
The Live Cell Imaging Package is designed to combine the two diverse technologies.
The package includes:
- Rolera Thunder for low light capabilities with >90% quantum efficiency, large pixels and <1e- read noise using EMCCD technology
- optiMOS for live cell imaging from 100 frames per second (fps) at full resolution to 1,630 fps in a sub-region
- Easy, fast delivery and set up
The Rolera Thunder EMCCD camera is suited for super resolution microscopy such as STORM and PALM as well as single molecule fluorescence, TIRF and FRAP applications.
More suited for routine fluorescence microscopy, the optiMOS sCMOS camera is appropriate for cell biologists using live cell, multicolor fluorescence; biophysicists studying membrane dynamics and protein and lipid trafficking, as well as neuroscientists looking at ion transport such as electrophysiology, calcium imaging and ratiometric imaging.
QImaging is offering the Live Cell Imaging Package for $29,950 to increase the accessibility of these important research tools for every lab.
