SYSTEM FEATURES AND BENEFITS
FV10i
®
FV10i-LIV
No experience is required with the FV10i, even for sophisticated confocal imaging.
The navigation function leads a first-time user to operate the FV10i with ease.
FV10i-LIV/FV10i-DOC
Equipped with Four Wavelength Diode Lasers
for Imaging up to Five Channels
The system is equipped with four (405/473/559/635nm)
lasers. Multi-stained specimens can be imaged with up to
four fluorescence dyes. Transmitted light phase images can
also be acquired. Maintenance-free and power-saving diode
lasers with longer operating lives are employed in all the laser
units, and operate with low noise levels.
Detector Utilizes a Newly Developed Spectrum Method
The detecting mechanism has two fluorescence channels,
and one phase contrast channel. The fluorescent channels
use a newly developed spectrum method comprising grating,
beam splitter, and slit. In addition, they are equipped with
the variable barrier filter function where the most suitable
wavelength width is set automatically in accordance with the
characteristics of the fluorescence dye.
Objectives of 10
x
and 60
x
are Mounted on the System
The system is equipped with 10x and 60x phase objectives
specifically designed for the FV10i to maintain high resolution.
By changing lens and scanning zoom, magnification can be
changed continually from 10x to 600x. The most suitable
imaging area can be set depending on size of the specimen.
Simplified Built-in Incubator
The system has a simplified built-in incubator, allowing easy
time-lapse imaging of live cells without losing valuable time
in setting up equipment. The environment in the culture
chamber is maintained at temperature - 37 degrees Celsius,
humidity of - 90%, and CO
2
concentration of - 5%.
Dedicated Culture Pod
The system is provided with a dedicated culture pod for
dia. 35mm cover glass bottom dishes. Recirculation of the
culture media and addition of reagents during time-lapse
is possible. In addition, the culture pod system can be
autoclaved for sterilization.
Stable Time-Lapse Imaging
Not only the incubator but also the surrounding air space
is maintained at 37 degrees Celsius. Long-term time-lapse
imaging is possible while maintaining cell activity.
Water is Automatically Supplied to the
Water-Immersion Objective
The newly developed automatic water dispensing system
enables the FV10i to supply water to the top of the water-
immersion objective. You can continue long-term time-lapse
imaging without worrying about insufficient immersion
media. Water is supplied automatically when the objective is
moved into the observation position.
Detection of Cover Glass Thickness and Automatic
Adjustment of the Correction Collar
The system is equipped with the capability to detect the
thickness of the cover glass, allowing it to adjust the
correction collar automatically, when using the water-
immersion objective. This assures imaging is performed
each time with optimal conditions.
The System Supports Multi-Area Time-Lapse
The system is equipped with a motorized stage, and repeat
imaging is possible through multi-area time-lapse. Ten point
locations can be assigned within a single dish (well). For
example, in the case of a dia. 35mm glass bottom dish,
three dishes can be mounted, allowing a maximum of up to
30 locations to be captured.
Software dedicated for exclusive use for FluoView is provided
to easily perform various editing / analysis operations.
