MICROSCOPY & IMAGING
NEW LIVE-CELL IMAGING ANALYSIS SYSTEM LAUNCHED C
ytoSmart Technologies has launched the Omni FL, a new live-cell imaging analysis system incorporating red and green fluorescence channels into its signature Omni product line for the first time. The advance reflects the company’s ongoing commitment to provide high-quality, accessible live-cell imaging to every cell biology lab and offers an innovative platform for researchers in stem cell biology, immuno-oncology,
virology, toxicology, neurology and other fields. Joffry Maltha, CEO, stated, “We are very
excited to launch a fluorescence version of the popular brightfield live-cell imager Omni. The new Omni FL brings research to another level and allows scientists to gain greater insight into their experiments while reducing the amount of time spent on manual labor. This advancement represents the next big step in our continued product line innovation strategy designed to accelerate scientific discovery and drug development.” Live-cell fluorescence
microscopy is a powerful tool with broad applications in biological research. Using fluorescent tags, dyes, and other methods to label and examine
molecules of interest, imaging provides a critical window into the physiology and function of cells over time and enables the creation of high-quality time-lapse videos to track complex cellular processes. Featuring an innovative design that operates efficiently in a cell culture incubator, universal compatibility with any transparent culture vessel, and AI-driven analysis with user-friendly data storage solutions, the low-maintenance Omni FL overcomes the limitations of other imaging platforms and allows for plug-and-play experimentation right out of the box. Applications of live-cell fluorescence imaging include evaluating cell health and viability, assessing wound healing and colony formation, studying transfection efficiency, and investigating complex culture models such as co-cultures and 3D organoids.

HIGH-PRECISION FOCUSING STAGE INTRODUCED A
lio Industries has recently released a high-precision focusing stage – the
AI-VC-600-Z-SCB. Such stages are critical in such applications as super resolution microscopy, atomic force microscopy, digital pathology, surface metrology and industrial manufacturing and inspection applications. For such applications, a must is nanometre- level resolution and extremely fast millisecond-range response Bill Hennessey, president of Alio
Industries says, “While microscopes have long been invaluable tools in biological research, a key drawback has been resolution limitations, making it impossible to use them as a tool to examine sub- cellular or sub-organelle details. Recent advances in fluorescence microscopy, a type of light microscopy in which one wavelength of light is absorbed and another omitted, allows super-resolution microscopy to observe living sub-cellular structures and activities.”

www.scientistlive.com The AI-VC-600-Z-SCB high-precision
focusing stage, when used in such applications, provides closed-loop precision and extremely fast response to achieve sub- atomic resolution, critical in high-resolution microscopy. The result is higher quality images at a much faster rate of speed. With a 6mm travel range and a 500g
payload, the AI-VC-600-Z-SCB can achieve 4G 100% S-curve peak acceleration (which is equivalent to 2G trapezoidal acceleration) and 300mm/sec with 5nm resolution and can also achieve 1nm resolution by
reducing the speed capability to 30mm/sec. Hennessey says: “The new stage facilitates many applications at the bleeding edge of life science research, including DNA sequencing to stimulate the drive towards personalised medicine. Our high-precision microscope focusing stages are also a game- changer in the field of digital pathology. The key to success in these types of applications is image capture at a high rate of
speed with absolute focus on nanometre- level precision. The applications further require that the motion control solution must combine smoothness (meaning highest possible image resolution), flatness (controlling the z-axis meaning maintenance of focus), and straightness (reducing overlap between scanning “passes” and increasing throughput).
