ImageXpress Pico System Features
Illumination System
Light Source
The ImageXpress Pico System light source is comprised of four high-powered LEDs with a
rated lifetime of more than 20,000 hours. It has an excitation spectrum ranging from
ultraviolet to red. There are no user-replaceable parts in the light source.
Filter Cube Turret
The six-position filter cube turret uses Leica filter cubes, which contain filters that are adapted
and matched to the ImageXpress Pico System. Additional filter cubes are available exclusively
from Molecular Devices.
See Filter Cube Specifications on page 49 for details.
Objective (Z) Stage
The Z stage position features a resolution of better than 0.25 μm.
The ImageXpress Pico System uses Fluotar objectives manufactured by Leica Microsystems.
The selected objective lens focuses excitation light onto the sample and collects fluorescent
light emitted by the sample.
One or more objectives is included with your initial purchase of the ImageXpress Pico
System. After that, you can order additional compatible objectives exclusively from
Molecular Devices. The following objectives are compatible with the ImageXpress Pico
System:
Magnification Numerical Aperture Color Band
4x 0.13 Red
10x 0.32 Yellow
20x 0.40 Light Green
40x 0.60 Light Blue
63x 0.70 Dark Blue
CAUTION! To prevent damaging both the instrument and your samples, do not use
any other objectives with the ImageXpress Pico System.
See Compatible Objectives on page 47 for details.
Motorized Objective Turret
The ImageXpress Pico System includes a six-position objective turret.
