Description of equipment
Lionheart FX Automated Microscope is manufactured by BioTek Instruments. This product is a complete set of microscope system, which is optimized for living cell imaging. It can obtain air and oil immersion magnification up to 100 times, with bright field, color bright field, phase contrast and fluorescence channel. The unique environmental control cover can hatch at 40 °C and effectively control CO2/O2. The available humidity chamber and reagent injection port add a higher level of environmental optimization to the living cell imaging workflow. New Gen5™ 3.0 software makes endpoint, montage and dynamic image capture fast and effortless. Built in annotation tool in Gen5™ 3.0 provides convenient and real-time image marking. The fifth Gen5™ 3.0 provides basic to advanced image analysis to meet the requirements of a wide range of real-time and fixed cell applications.
