It is a unique Multimodal Holographic Microscope for Quantitative Phase Imaging (QPI) and life sciences. It is based on a patented technology of coherence-controlled holographic microscopy that uses an incoherent light source (i.e. a halogen lamp or LED) to generate high quality QPI images without any compromise.
It is the only technique which allows for the imaging of samples in scattering media; a completely novel idea in QPI imaging.
Key Features:
- Sample Automates Image Segmentation and Processing
- No image artifacts (ex. halo effect)
- Enables very precise detection of cell boundaries
- Label free: no need to staining- simple preparation, observation of live cells in their native environment, no photo bleaching problem
- Low phototoxicity: allows long-term observations
- Coherence-getting effect: special feature to observe samples even in scattering media
- Multimodality: (fully integrated fluorescence module, DIC and brightfield enables multimodal imaging of the sample)
- High-quality: unique setup allows using incoherent illumination
- Strong suppression of coherent noise
- Lateral resolution of conventional microscopes
- Use of off-axis holographic approach: enabling imagining of very fast cell dynamics (makes q-phase a single-shot instrument)
- Focusing, sample stage, objective exchange, fluorescence filters all fully motorized.
