LEARN HOW OUR CAMERAS ARE BEING USED!
The Ottawa Health Research Institute (OHRI), in Ontario, Canada, needed to reduce costs and increase availability of their confocal systems. Confocal systems are laser based imaging solutions which use Photomultiplier Tubes as detectors, taking the place of both a lamp light source and camera as detectors on a normal microscope. Vastly improving image contrast by omitting out-of-focus light, these systems help researchers view details not distinguishable under non-confocal conditions, and are therefore expensive to run and in high demand.
As manager of the Confocal Imaging Suite for the OHRI, Dr. Andrew Ridsdale’s cost-effective solution to this problem was the installation of an INFINITY3-1monochrome cooled camera. Imaging Suite researchers are now using Lumenera’s cooled camera for basic imaging work, saving the confocals for the more sophisticated experiments. One such example is a low magnification phase contrast study of wound in tissue culture. Wound tissue is cultured and studied over time by attaching fluorescent molecules to proteins present when the tissue begins to heal. The INFINITY3-1 camera, with live preview and high quality images, is now used to study these samples.
Feedback from the Imaging Suite users has been positive, offering the advantages of increased availability for the confocal systems and a reduction in costs for the Imaging Suite. For more info on this project or on our imaging products, e-mailmoshe@ilphotonics.com
