CRi Instruments develops and manufactures liquid crystal-based systems and components that exploit multispectral and polarised-light imaging and detection for a wide variety of applications such as biomedicine, life sciences, remote sensing, and industrial process control.
This workshop is being held at the University of Birmingham's CRi workshop on 12 January 2005.
The format of the workshop will include a UK user talk, together with a presentation from the CRi applications scientist in the morning, followed by a practical session in the afternoon where the following instruments will be demonstrated.
The VariSpec tuneable imaging filter is like a high-quality interference filter, but the colour of the light it transmits is electronically controllable, providing rapid, vibrationless, and noiseless selection of any wavelength in the visible and near-IR ranges.
VariSpec enables you to obtain multispectral, ultra-high-resolution images using a monochrome CCD camera. Whether on the microscope or out in the field, CRi's Nuance systems let users perform fast, easy multispectral imaging, says Lot-Oriel.
Solid-state VariSpec technology inside enables accurate, vibration-free Vis or NIR imaging at the precise wavelength you want.
Nuance software lets users store multispectral data as industry-standard Tiff image files that are compatible with popular third-party image processing programs. The Maestro system is described as an affordable, breakthrough system for fluorescence-based in-vivo imaging.
Using multispectral acquisition and analysis, it is said to provide dramatically improved sensitivity, multicolour flexibility, and quantitative accuracy for visible and near-infrared labels.
