Gradient Contrast: See Your Sample in a New Light Acquiring sharp images at the edges of a well in a multi-well plate can be challenging. The contrast is poor even when using oblique contrast, and DIC does not work well with plastic containers. The APX100 microscope features our unique gradient contrast method. It works with all Olympus objectives and enables you to capture sharp images in a wider area and with higher contrast than the conventional method. This unique contrasting method is less affected by the meniscus, container lids, and water droplets, and it can be used with both glass- and...

Tools for Clearer Images - Photobleaching Prevention Mode C onsistently bright incident light can cause photobleaching and phototoxicity that quickly degrades fluorescent samples. Using the system’s photobleaching prevention mode, the fluorescence illumination source only emits excitation light for the time necessary to acquire the image. The static image is then displayed on the screen, providing you time to take measurements or evaluate captures while minimizing phototoxicity to delicate samples.

Fast, Efficient Data Management Managing experiment data is a common challenge when acquiring multiple types of images across experiments. The APX100 system includes features that enable fast, efficient data management that keeps your data organized and acquisition parameters saved for future reference. Images Are Organized and Easy to Find The APX100 microscope has a dedicated system to organize and store your data. When you acquire an image, the software automatically creates folders for each sample and saves the data into the correct one. The consistent indexing keeps your data organized and...

Image Processing and Analysis TruSight Deconvolution Fluorescence blur is a challenge when imaging thick specimens with widefield fluorescent microscopes. The APX100 features several tools for improving image quality, including online-deblur and TruSight deconvolution. The microscope’s TruSight deconvolution algorithms improve image quality, enabling you to obtain a higher signal-to-noise ratio, enhance resolution, and see deeper in thick specimens. When used in combination with a silicone oil immersion objective—which enables high-resolution and deep observation of cells and tissues—it can be...

Designed for Labs and Imaging Core Facilities No Darkroom Required With a small footprint, built-in anti-vibration mechanism, and shielded optics, you can place the APX100 system almost anywhere. Install the unit directly on a lab table to image in parallel with other experiments, even in a brightly lit room. Easy to Learn, Easy to Teach Teaching multiple imaging modalities to new researchers can be a time-consuming process, but the APX100 system’s ease of use greatly simplifies and accelerates the training process. Researchers who are unfamiliar with microscopes can quickly learn to operate...
