High resolution image capture from 5-1000 μm
Left: Mouse lung tissue slide probed for vascular endothelial (VE)-cadherin (AzureSpectra 550 nm secondary antibodies) and smooth muscle actin (SMA) (AzureSpectra 650 nm secondary antibodies). Imaged on the Sapphire FL using the 532 and 638 standard optical modules (red and green, respectively) at 5 um. Right: Mouse lung tissue slide stained with 650-Smooth Muscle Actin (SMA). Imaged on the Sapphire FL with 638 nm laser modules at 5 μm.
Sapphire FL offers flexibility to meet any lab's requirements
The new Sapphire FL gives you the flexibility to choose the laser combination that suits your research needs. Just remove the optical module, replace the filter and reload your new laser/filter combination.
Sapphire FL supports imaging of Western blots, gels, phosphor screens, tissues, slides arrays, whole organisms & much more!
Distinguish between subtle differences in expression with Extended Dynamic Range (EDR)
When selected, extended dynamic range allows imaging of both bright and weak bands without experiencing saturation, ideal for samples featuring low and high abundant proteins.
