Optional Features and Accessories
High-Resolution Camera
Ultra high-performance camera with fast global shutter has two fast frame rates: 30 fps at 640 x 480 pixels or 15 fps at 1392 x 1040 pixels. Great for slow processes measurements and for applications where the higher spatial resolution is of high importance.
GFP Filter Cube Set
Complete filter equipment for green fluorescent proteins imaging.
QA-Reoxidation Option
High-end option allowing determination of QA-reoxidation kinetics. QA-reoxidation is recorded in a pump-and-probe manner, i.e. using repetitive flashes and recording with variable delay after each flash.
