The world's first imaging Microhub. Mica

More than a highly automated microscope, Mica unites widefield and confocal imaging in a sample-protecting, incubating environment.

With the simple push of a button, you have everything you need — all in one place — to supercharge fluorescence imaging workflows and get meaningful scientific results faster.

The Microhub enables you to simultaneously capture all 4 labels or different structures in a single acquisition for both widefield and confocal, without ever moving your sample. This overcomes the spatiotemporal mismatch between labels of moving objects during sequential acquisition.

Mica unifies transmitted and fluorescence light imaging modalities. You can select from multiple imaging modalities all within one Microhub, including widefield, confocal, THUNDER imaging, LIGHTNING, Z-stacks, time-lapse and more.

This enables you, for example, to generate fast overviews with widefield at low magnification, gradually zoom in on the regions of interest, and switch to confocal when and where needed without ever moving the sample to a different system.

Live cell experiments require the cells to be in optimal shape. Typically, 2D and 3D cells in media require the temperature and the pH (via CO₂) in the environment to be controlled. Stable nutrition and ion concentrations require the evaporation to be minimal. Some experiments even demand the O₂ to be mimicked closer to physiological levels. Mica can provide the right conditions in the live cell configuration.

Intelligent automation and AI-supported analysis enables greater efficiency and a faster track to publication.

Mica allows you to reduce over 60% of process steps through system intelligence, reduce time and effort from sample to insight by simplifying your entire workflow.

Enable 100% reproducibility and repeatability throughout your experiment.
