Live cell nano-microscopy

Wednesday, 08 April, 2009 | Supplied by: SciTech Pty Ltd


Designed to support research in nanotechnology and infectious diseases, the CytoViva Microscope System employs a darkfield-based optical illumination technology that improves contrast and signal-to-noise ratio. This transmitted-light illumination system enables scientists to observe a wide range of nano-materials quickly and easily, without special preparation. Live cells and pathogens can also be viewed at a level of detail not possible with traditional optical imaging techniques such as phase contrast or DIC.

The instrument’s Dual Mode Fluorescence system allows researchers to observe the interactions between fluorescently labelled nano-particles or bacteria and live unlabelled cells. This can eliminate the need to create computer enhanced overlay images.

The Hyperspectral Imaging system also provides the instrument with a high contrast microscopy method that allows researchers to secure spectral data from the images.

A research-grade optical microscope, EXFO fluorescence light source, cameras and image analysis software are also available for the instrument, making it suitable for a wide range of microscopy solutions.
