The Macro-Illumination Imaging System allows for the imaging of fluorescent macro-sized subjects, including living animals, plants, and plates. It features a camera mounted on a copy stand that offers vertical movement and zoom lens adjustment for enhanced imaging flexibility. The Illumatool TLS LT-9500 provides a dark environment with its Imaging Cabinet, ideal for capturing images of moving animals. The tunable lighting system excites fluorescent dyes like GFP, resulting in strong excitation signals with minimal optical noise. Sample imaging includes GFP and RFP samples in various biological contexts.

Macro-Illumination Imaging System • Allows imaging of fluorescent, macro size subjects, like living animals, living plants and plates. • The camera is attached to a copy stand allowing it to be moved vertically. The zoom lens allows additional adjustment. • Fluorescent samples are placed on the Illumatool TLS LT-9500 viewing area and are imaged from above.
Imaging Cabinet • This cabinet is used with the imaging system to provide a dark environment • It is useful to contain moving animals during the viewing process
LT-9500 Illunatool Tunable Lighting System • Excitation of fluorescent dyes, such as GFP, contained within the samples occurs via the above lighting model. • It consists of a lamp supply which delivers a single light source. It gets divided into two equal Epi line lights, which are placed above and to the side of the sample. • The result is a strong excitation signal that has little optical noise.
