Main Features
  • Assortment of CCD cameras
  • Motorized optics for setting the aperture, zoom and focus
  • Automated templates for repeat experiments
  • Light tight darkroom creates optimum imaging conditions
  • Unique viewing window is UV blocking for quick sample inspection
  • Built-in overhead white light and UV are easily selected from the software interface
  • Automated control of the five-position emission filter array ide spectral range with emissions for visible, IR and UV to meet all spectral requirements
  • Easy access fold-down white light plate
  • Chemi tray fits over the plate for placement of blots
  • Roll-out tray provides easy access to the UV transilluminator
  • Select from several benchtop, patented and awarding winning transilluminator models (configured with system or optional)

Darkroom
  • Light tight darkroom creates optimum imaging conditions
  • Unique viewing window is UV blocking for quick sample inspection
  • Built-in overhead white light and UV are easily selected from the software interface
  • Automated control of the five-position emission filter array
  • Power lift is adjustable to any setting in a ten inch travel range
  • Removable white light plate features LEDs for increased uniformity  with <5% coefficient of variance (CV)
  • Automated calibrating home position synchronizes the power lift at start-up
  • Dual fiber optic ports supply access from the BioLite MultiSpectral power source to the epi or BioLite transilluminator lights
  • Access port for connecting to an external anesthesia unit (not included)

BioLite MultiSpectral Source

  • External power supply houses the eight position filter wheel
  • Automated design controls the filter wheel and six intensity positions
  • Fiber optic light source connects through the darkroom port for epi or transillumination
  • Epi illumination is built into the darkroom while the BioLite transilluminator is an optional unit
  • Matched excitation/emission green fluorescent protein (gfp) filter set is included; other filter sets available (additional filter sets available)
  • The BioLite supplies a direct source using fiber optic bundles and a closed optical path to tightly control the output spectrum for consistent, repeatable measurements

Camera Lens

Choose from three camera models: BioChemi HR 500, OptiChemi HR 600 and BioCam 700. Link to camera specifications for more information. Cameras are selected for their high sensitivity for in vivo imaging applications. The configurations supply real time, live preview of images.

Field of view for the BioChemi HR 500 camera at the power lift in the bottom position is 16x16cm; at the position closest to the lens is 8 x 8 cm.

Software Interface
  • Software automates your research for easy, yet accurate and repeatable results
  • Controls the BioLite, darkroom’s epi and transillumination UV and white light, emission filter selection and system power
  • Allows selection of user-defined or default settings
  • Select identify specific filters
  • Click on the epi and transillumination light sources
  • Set templates and user preferences for recurring experiments
