Overview
A widefield microscope that lets you focus on discovery
DeltaVision Ultra is an easy-to-use and versatile automated widefield microscope system that delivers quality data. DeltaVision Ultra builds on a legacy of excellent image quality and innovation to facilitate scientific discovery. The system can reveal the details in even the most challenging samples, including dim and live biology. A new sample-driven workflow simplifies experiment design, accelerating time to results.
Data that makes the difference
High quality data is about seeing the structures that matter. Designed specifically for widefield imaging, the DeltaVision Ultra’s light path is optimized to produce the cleanest raw data. The proprietary deconvolution method further enhances data quality by reassigning background signal to boost image contrast and resolution while maintaining quantitative results. Previously unseen details are revealed, advancing your research one question at a time.
Supports evolving research needs
As research questions progress, biological sample and experiment requirements often change. Fixed samples on coverslips are replaced by live cells in a 35mm dish. Assays in chambered coverslips grow to populate 96-well plates. Today’s n of 3 is tomorrow’s n of 300. DeltaVision Ultra tackles most imaging applications, including time-lapse live cell imaging, multi-point cell tracking, multi-well plate scanning, and more. Do more with a single instrument that’s versatile enough to support your evolving research needs.
Let the biology dictate the data
Let the biology, not the microscope, dictate the data. Robust environmental control and maximized light efficiency preserve cell viability, while UltimateFocus maintains focus for precise long-term multi-point imaging. Combining the optimized light path with a state-of-the-art sCMOS camera, DeltaVision Ultra easily captures dynamic events.
Novice users achieve expert results
With all the techniques required for publication, learning to use a new system can make it difficult to obtain critical data. User-centered design minimizes the training burden on DeltaVision Ultra, so time on the system is maximized for data collection. Smart experiment setup defines the acquisition protocol as the user explores the sample and simple workflows for complex experiments allow users—even novice users—to focus on results.
