Digital Pixel can provide a wide range of time lapse solutions based either on existing hardware, new hardware, or a combination of the two.
A typical solution would involve using an existing microscope, supplying an XY stage, new state of the art camera, and environmental chamber to allow the system to function as a powerful wide field time lapse system, capable of acquiring hundreds of experiments over a 1-6 day period.
Typical New System Configuration
  • Hamamatsu Flash 4.0 Camera
  • High Precision XYZ Stage
  • LED Based Fluorescence and Transmitted Light
  • Research Grade Inverted Microscope
  • Comprehensive Control and Acquisition Software
Experimental Outline
  • Mark Multiple XYZ Positions in multiple sample holders using Transmitted Light or Multiple Fluorescence channels
  • Define required fluorescence and transmitted light channels
  • Define independent camera exposure and light intensity for each channel to minimise photobleaching
  • Define Z scan parameter if required
  • Define experimental time constant
  • Data for each position is stored with experimental data - time stamp z position in a single easy to view file.
Digital Pixel are able to supply the very best in camera and beam splitter technology to provide accuracy and flexibility in dual emission experiments. The Gemini beam splitter has been designed with the Flash 4.0 in mind, with excellent image registration and minimal image aberration. Easy in/out filter holders allow easy wavelength selection, as well as a return to full field readout modes.
Hammatsu ORCA Flash 4.0 LT Camera with Hammatsu W-View Gemini

Hammatsu ORCA Flash 4.0 LT
with W-View Gemini

Beam Splitter or Dual Camera Imaging Technology Fully Supported
The Orca Flash Camera boasts a 2Kx2K sensor. In combination with the Gemini Beam Splitter it can image two wavelengths simultaneously onto two halves of the sensor with a resolution of 2000x1000 pixels. Powerful Acquisition software allows the user to independently control the exposure on each half of the sensor to provide précis signal balance to provide easy ratiometric image capture.
  • Real-time Dual Wavelengths - Great for dyanamic processes, removes image intenstiy fluctuations
  • Independent Exposure Control for both fluorescence Channels - Easy to optimise ratios and signal balance
  • Excellent Uniformity of Response
  • Precise ratios across the whole field of view
  • 100 to 26,000 frames per second
Dual Camera Imaging
  • Dual Camera Imaging provides real time image capture with 2Kx2K resolution
  • Optimised Hardware and Software Solution
Applications
  • Dynamic Calcium Ratiometric or pH Analysis
  • Calcium Wave Image Capture
  • FRET Image Capture and Analysis
  • Dynamic Dual Wavelength Image Capture
ORCA Flash 4.0 LT/ V3
The Orca Flash 4.0 is available in two versions:
The entry level LT uses USB 3.0 as a computer interface, and does not require a specific camera interface card. With 30fps and three times the field of view of a CCD it is ideal for the majority of imaging applications.
