Overview
Deconvolution Sharpens Your Images
Deconvolution improves image x, y, and z contrast and resolution without sacrificing data integrity. Our exclusive deconvolution algorithm facilitates quantitation and enables faster data visualization by on-the-fly image deconvolution.
Maximum Flexibility for Your Imaging Needs
DeltaVision Elite can handle most imaging applications, including widefield fluorescence microscopy, time-lapse live cell imaging, multi-point cell tracking, total internal reflection fluorescence (TIRF), fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET), Photokinetics (PK), and differential interference contrast (DIC).
Outstanding Focus Stability for Long-Term Imaging Experiments
UltimateFocus incorporates an exclusive patented design to quickly and precisely maintain focus regardless of mechanical or thermal changes that can impact your experiment. UltimateFocus also enables Focus Assist, which preserves cell health by allowing the user to focus on the sample without using the eyepieces or the camera.
Automated High-Precision Stage
Our patented Flexure stages and exclusive NanoMotion III Precision Control motors ensure precise stage movement and stability with excellent repeatability for multi-point sampling during time-lapse experiments.
