Label-free live cell culture

Monitor and document cell culture status using phase contrast, DIC, PlasDIC, or iHMC. Long working distance objectives and large field-of-view imaging support efficient routine work.
Fluorescence-labeled cells and proteins

Reveal fine cellular structures with multichannel fluorescence and digital optical sectioning. Improved resolution in X, Y, and Z uncovers details beyond conventional widefield microscopy.
Tissue cross sections and pathology research

Perform extended depth of field imaging, panoramic scanning, and whole-slide imaging of stained or immunofluorescence-labeled tissue sections for quantitative spatial analysis.
Long-term live-cell and 3D models

Study organoids, spheroids, and complex cell models like Organ-on-a-Chip under stable environmental conditions with automated time-lapse imaging.
High-throughput screening

Automate Multiwell plate imaging and analysis. Acquire, analyze, and visualize results—such as fluorescence intensity heat maps—without constant user intervention.
