The iCys® Research Imaging Cytometer ( well known as Laser Scanning Cytometer) providing the ability to visualize the specimen through microscope optics or with a digital camera was installed in Chanin 309. It is equipped with blue, violet and red lasers. Features include: simultaneous acquisition of multiple-fluorescence and brightfield laser-scatter images, from as many as 3 lasers and 5 multiplexed light sensors; Wide-field images, super-wide-field sampling and mosaic images; easily viewed specimens with on-the-fly galleries, or relocation to individual events after data acquisition; analysis and visualization of specimens in a variety of formats (chamber slides, microtiter plates, petri dishes, microscope slides) to analyze cell populations, cell colonies, tissues and tissue arrays; precise localization of cells and tissue events of interest with the automated motorized stage; autofocus for automated analysis.
