ImageXpress Pico Automated Cell Imaging System

Description

The ImageXpress Pico is a compact, all-in-one automated digital imaging system for cell analysis. It combines automated microscopy with integrated analysis software. The system supports fluorescence, brightfield, and colorimetric imaging modes and is compatible with various sample formats, including single slides, 6-well plates, 96-well plates, and 384-well microplates. It is used for applications such as cellular imaging, live-cell assays, and time-lapse experiments. Objectives range from 4x to 63x magnification. The software includes preconfigured analysis protocols for tasks like cell counting and neurite tracing, which help standardize data collection. Features include z-stack acquisition for improved image clarity, a plate-to-cell data visualization tool, and an efficient slide-scanning workflow that captures overview images before high-resolution scans of specific regions. Optional environmental control modules for humidity, CO2, and O2 allow for multi-day live-cell imaging with real-time condition monitoring.
