Features at a glance
 

multiple cameras

Multiple cameras

Increase imaging speed by multiple cameras and simultaneous acquisition especially for extensive stacks for 3D models.

microlens pinhole disk

Microlens-enhanced pinhole disk

Microlenses increase the excitation efficiency allowing for a bigger pinhole to pinhole distance thereby reducing out of focus light in confocal imaging.

automated water immersion objectives

Automated water-immersion objectives

Improve image quality and get better data by enhancing the signal and improving the z resolution while capturing more light.

 

proprietary synchrony optics

Proprietary Synchrony™ Optics

Combine a microlens-enhanced pinhole disk with dual-view confocal optics. This minimizes spectral crosstalk during simultaneous acquisition by separating fluorescence excitation and emission. Provide greater speed and higher sensitivity.

machine learning

Machine learning

Easily create algorithms without being an image analysis expert using our PhenoLOGIC proprietary machine-learning technology.

intelligent image acquisition

Intelligent image acquisition

Image only the objects you are interested in, centered at high magnification, thereby reducing imaging time and data size.

 

powerfully simple analysis

Powerfully simple analysis

Harmony™ high-content imaging and analysis software can make you more productive faster with ready made templates and simple steps to a custom analysis

3d analysis

3D analysis

Explore your cell models by visualizing them in a 3D- and an XYZ-viewer and quantify volumetric and other 3D related phenotypic readouts.
