Image acquisition modules

Multichannel Fluorescence: acquisition of up to 3 channels in fluorescence and transmitted light techniques in phase contrast.
Time Lapse: generation of image series over time, which can be played back as films and processed further. Contains Smart Experiment function for acquisition of heterogeneous experiments.
Z-Stack: three-dimensional images by means of image sequences from different focus planes.
Mark&Find: acquisition of different positions of a specimen, e.g. from multiwell plates.
Autofocus: automatic refocusing during time lapse and multichannel image acquisition
Extended Focus: Compiles a sinlge in-focus image from z-stack data

Users are charged for using this system – and must be trained prior to conducting any experiments!
