Systems are made up of cameras, microscopes and illumination systems all from Olympus, and controlled by advanced software, ensuring that all parts work as one
Olympus has introduced three members of its newly launched Cell family of imaging systems.
The Cell D, Cell F, and Cell P provide advanced functions for easy image capture and documentation, as well as for fluorescence applications and comprehensive research.
These systems are made up of cameras, microscopes and illumination systems all from Olympus, and controlled by advanced software, ensuring that all parts work as one.
The Cell family software package is fully adaptable to the required level of experimentation.
It combines control of all hardware with intelligent image capture, efficient image processing, automatic analysis, structured image and data archiving, as well as automatic report generation.
In addition, as a Windows-based package, it can be intuitively customised to meet personal workflow requirements.
The Cell D provides comprehensive documentation and control and represents the base-level system for image acquisition, archiving and documentation in the biological field.
The Cell D offers highly advanced functionality including: rapid acquisition of image sequences (monochrome or colour); direct transfer of images to the web; image creation with unlimited sharpness; numerous image processing operations and interactive measurements.
Systems for fluorescence and research Cell F is designed as a standard level system for fluorescence applications.
It enables documentation, visualisation, processing and analysis of multi-channel fluorescence images, such as those created using GFP variants.
This enables analysis and presentation of many immunofluorescence techniques, like Z-sectioning and image acquisition at different focal positions to visualise specimens in 3D.
For enhanced spectral resolution of multi-channel images, a spectral unmixing tool is incorporated, as are tools for fluorescence image evaluation, such as co-localisation.
Developed for advanced research of dynamic cell processes, Cell P is the ideal system for automated image capture of multi-channel analyses of fluorescent probes and dyes.
Fully integrating Olympus motorised microscopes and accessories, the software enables the user to carry out a range of complex and highly sophisticated experiments.
These include automated capture of multi-fluorescence images, time-lapse photography and 3D image composites, as well as automatic scanning of multiwell-plates with a motorised XY-stage.
All seven members of the Olympus Cell family provide cutting-edge and modular systems for the most demanding and varied applications, says the company.
Through the Cell family, Olympus offers a unified range of research systems together with powerful software tools for enhanced imaging in fluorescence microscopy.
This, ultimately, delivers quality results rapidly and reliably whatever the level of experimentation, it says.
All Cell packages are modular and upgradeable for special requirements, such as particle detection and object tracking.
The Cell family from Olympus is a comprehensive series of high powered and mutually-compatible imaging products combining excellent performance and user-friendly operation.
Each member of the Cell family is made up of cameras, microscopes and illumination systems entirely from Olympus - all controlled by advanced software, ensuring that all parts work as one system.
All Cell family members are fully upgradeable and able to grow with evolving research requirements so users do not have to get used to new interfaces as their needs develop.
Olympus also understands the experimental procedures and the fact that it is ultimately quality of results that count.
Olympus specialists are able to provide results-orientated support and advise on the tailoring of the Cell family imaging tools for specific experimental needs.
There are seven members to the Cell family, developed for the specific requirements of different applications.
These range from: Cell A, Cell B and Cell D for easy image capture and documentation; Cell F and Cell P for fluorescence applications and comprehensive research; up to Cell M and Cell R - the most sophisticated fluorescence systems for live cell microscopy, with real-time capability in the case of Cell R.
