Software Interface

  1. Objective Lens Selection: The software automatically recognizes the objective lens magnification and enables one-click switching. Related parameters (such as camera magnification and scale bar) are intelligently updated in linkage.
  2. XY-Z Control: The high-precision motorized stage control is integrated into the interface, enabling precise positioning, rapid movement, and multi-position recording.
  3. Laser and Light Source Control: The on/off status and intensity settings of all lasers and fluorescence channels are operated via a centralized panel, supporting one-click multi-channel switching and presets.
  4. Camera Control: All key parameters (including exposure time, gain, resolution, and frame rate) can be adjusted directly within the software, with real-time preview of imaging results.
  5. Auto-Focus: Features one-click precise focusing, multi-point focusing map generation, and real-time focus maintenance for long-term imaging.
  6. Multi-Channel Imaging: Real-time images of each channel can be viewed simultaneously or sequentially. Intuitive comparison of the intensity and overlap of fluorescence expression is achievable without repeated switching.
 
Multiple software functions
-Multi-channel merge
  • It can integrate and display signals collected from different fluorescence channels in the same image, intuitively revealing the spatial relationships between molecular and cellular structures.
  • It supports high-precision co-localization analysis and quantitative research.
  • By combining structural information such as brightfield, it enables multi-dimensional correlative observation of function and morphology.
-Time series
  • It supports programmable time interval settings from seconds to hours, adapting to the recording of physiological events at different rates.

  • It can synchronously record image data from 2 to 4 channels in the time dimension, ensuring the temporal consistency of signals from each channel, and enabling the analysis of spatiotemporal dynamic relationships of different targets.

  • The playback interface is equipped with a progress bar for navigation and supports frame-by-frame inspection. It can also export high-resolution images at any time point for subsequent processing and quantification.

-Large image splicing

• Capable of performing automated scanning and stitching of large-scale specimens such as tissue sections, whole embryos, and multi-well plate regions, achieving seamless panoramic imaging at millimeter to centimeter scales;

• Upon user-defined scanning areas, the system autonomously plans paths and controls high-precision motorized stages and objectives to complete multi-field acquisition without manual intervention;

• Supports synchronous stitching of multi-channel fluorescence and brightfield modes, generating stitched images for each channel in a single acquisition, with independent and fused display options;

• Compatible with Z-stack sectioning and time-lapse functionalities for 4D (x,y,z,t) and even 5D (x,y,z,λ,t) data acquisition, enabling dynamic multi-timepoint observation within large sample volumes;

• Utilizes feature-point matching and luminance homogenization algorithms to ensure precise and natural stitch alignment, eliminating image seams and brightness variations, thereby guaranteeing data authenticity and analytical reliability.

 


Upgrading options (Inverted Raman confocal microscopy, point/line scanning confocal microscopy) can combine multi-channel fluorescence imaging module with confocal microscopy technology, which can achieve higher resolution, deeper tissue penetration and richer structural and spectral information acquisition, not only improve image quality and experimental efficiency, but also expand to more complex. It has brought significant improvement to life science and medical research.
