The Integrated Live Cell Workstation Leica AF6000 LX
New Dynamics in Live Cell Imaging
15 June 2006: Leica Microsystems introduces an integrated system for advanced widefield fluorescence imaging and analysis - the new Leica AF6000 LX. The highly integrated workstation enables researchers to study the processes of life. Imaging fast cell dynamics or 4D experiments over several days can easily be performed. Stabile for long term experiments, it keeps the cells alive and healthy.
Camera, sample position and spectral selection are harmonized to enable ultra-fast imaging in real time. The new Super-Z Focus permits objective independent high precision z-positioning. The dedicated HCX PL APO 63x/1.3 Glyc Corr. live cell objective ensures crisp and sharp images even under physiological conditions. The rich choice of live cell accessories completes this integrated workstation.
The system offers a complete suite of applications and wizards for live cell studies like FRET and Motion Analysis. In the “Live Data Mode”, the course of experiments can be changed on the fly – a dynamic interaction capability, which is ideal for physiological experiments.
The Leica AF6000 LX is based on a new software platform that is shared by all imaging products of Leica Microsystems. The simplicity of its intuitive and intelligent interface with guided workflow ensures fast and effortless handling and guarantees outstanding results in short time.
