Imaging System: Emission
Tube Lens
The tube lens collects collimated light from the objective and focuses it onto the detector
plane of the camera. The emission wavelength range is 400 nm to 750 nm.
Camera
The ImageXpress Confocal HT.ai system uses a scientific CMOS camera with a 2048 × 2048
image sensor format (6.5 × 6.5 µm pixel size) and a peak quantum efficiency of 82%.
Confocal Disks
Three Confocal disk box configurations are available for the ImageXpress Confocal HT.ai
system. For the confocal performance details with different objectives, see
