Description
The NightSHADE evo LB 985N is a modular plant imaging system for monitoring luminescence and fluorescence in tissues, seedlings and whole plants. The NightSHADE evo uses an
ultrasensitive back-illuminated (backlit) CCD camera with high quantum efficiency over the entire visible to near-infrared spectrum. Cooling to a delta of -100°C ensures the lowest background and highest sensitivity, even at long exposure times. In addition, the camera can be mounted either on top of the instrument to take images from above or laterally for
side view images, enabling you to maintain seedlings upright in their natural vertical orientation.
Features:
- Temperature control – temperature-controlled base plate to keep the temperature stable at user defined settings between 15 and 30 °C.
- Daylight simulation – 2 LED panels with 4 different colours each. LEDs are individually tunable in intensity and duration to simulate daylight with both, spectral and intensity gradients.
- Humidity control – the system can be placed into any appropriate environmental chamber.
- Light-tight ports are available for the introduction of lightguides, cables or tubing, e.g. to water plants inside the chamber.
- Several sample tables are available: the turntable can be equipped with different sample holders, e.g. to analyse square Petri dishes in upright position for unattended processing of multiple samples. The anti-condensation table for up to 9 Petri dishes features temperature control in combination with a constant, circular air flow above the Petri dishes, preventing condensation in the lids.
The NightSHADE evo In Vivo Plant Imaging System is a very flexible instrument, and its
range of applications is really broad. Some of the most popular ones are:
- Protein-Protein Interaction
- Circadian rhythms
- Stress monitoring
- Pathogen monitoring
- and more
