Description
The UltraMicroscope Blaze, the market's most automated light sheet microscope, is ideal for high-resolution 3D imaging of large and multiple cleared samples. With the revolutionary Lightspeed mode and the new image processing software for 3D large volumes, MACS iQ View, it sets new benchmarks for speed and image quality. Offering both a comprehensive 3D overview of the entire sample and a detailed analysis down to the subcellular level, it's a versatile tool for imaging organoids, rodent organs, or samples as large as entire mouse models or human kidneys. Used across fields like neuroscience, immuno-oncology, and developmental biology, the UltraMicroscope has contributed to over 900 publications, attesting to its excellence in generating valuable research data.
Features:
- Fully automated - Automated objective exchanger, autofocus, automatic sample release, automatic chromatic correction in both excitation and detection, as well as a batch measurement mode for imaging multiple samples are included.
- Fast - The LightSpeed mode in the UltraMicroscope Blaze offers high-resolution imaging at an unparalleled speed, up to 60 times faster than its predecessor and other systems. This remarkable speed is evident in its capability to capture a full 3D image of an entire mouse brain in less than 3 minutes, a process that would take several hours with other light sheet microscopes. The LightSpeed mode is not only fast but it also provides the best possible image quality and resolution.
- Easy to use - With the UltraMicroscope Blaze, anyone can become a light sheet microscopist. There is no need for technical expert knowledge.
- Flexible - Handling all clearing media, from water to organic solvents thanks to the dedicated objective dipping caps.
- Cutting-edge light sheet optics - Up to six light sheets, optimized for uniform illumination, improved optical sectioning, and high image quality, are combined with dedicated high numerical aperture (NA) and long working distance immersion objectives, ensuring the most homogeneous imaging conditions.
- Image processing software - Achieve superior image quality through the user-friendly post-processing workflow of "MACS® iQ View – 3D Large Volume," which includes 3D cropping, destriping, denoising, deconvolution, stitching, and contrast compression. Specifically designed for the UltraMicroscope Blaze, this software eliminates the necessity for data conversion. Utilize the convenience of batch processing to load, queue, and process multiple datasets in a single run. This feature is particularly valuable for large and multiple datasets acquired with the LightSpeed mode.
