The CX-A is an holotomography microscope designed to perform automated imaging of samples in 96-wells plates or 35mm Petri dishes. It allows to measure the refractive index of samples with sub-cellular resolution.
Thanks to the label-free nature of the technology and the stage-top incubation system, the CX-A is particularly suited for long-term live cell imaging.
Pixel intensities are a quantitative measure and are proportional to the dry mass, therefore subcellular structures such as lipid droplets, mitochondria, nuclear vesicles can be resolved.
The CX-A is equipped with an LED and 3 filter sets to optionally perform widefield fluorescence microscopy in the Dapi, FitC and TritC/Cy5 channels.
The EVE Analytics software additionally provides an integrated image analysis and quantification tool that delivers analysis of cell morphology, composition and population dynamics.
