This system is an automated microscope equipped with two fluorescent imaging modalities: widefield and confocal (Borealis™-illuminated multipoint). This system is easy to use, offers different support, suitable for a wide variety of sample types in fixed or live condition (temperature, humidity, and oxygen control), from subcellular and cellular experiments to large tissue samples and organoids requiring deeper imaging.
