Microscopy and Imaging Facility: Live Cell Imaging
The Deltavision-RT system (purchased 2005), has recently been upgraded to provide faster multi-channel acquisition. The new Core DeltaVision (upgraded 2008) now has a newly redesigned 10-position excitation filter wheel and 6-position emission filter wheel and also a new motorised stage, plus EMCCD camera. The Deltavision is designed to get the best possible images from weakly fluorescent samples with mimimum light exposure, and so is particularly suitable for live-cell imaging.
Advanced live-cell features including point-revisiting and time-lapse, real-time Z-sweep acquisition, autofocus and 3D image restoration/deconvolution. The system is fitted with a environmental control chamber. Non-fluorescent imaging options are bright-field or DIC.
If you would like to use the Deltavision, please contact Dr Shin-ichiro Hiraga (s.hiraga@abdn.ac.uk), Mr Kevin Mackenzie (k.s.mackenzie@abdn.ac.uk) or Dr Anne Donaldson (a.d.donaldson@abdn.ac.uk).
See Applied Precision Web site for further details of this type of system.
