Dear Users, We will be demoing the Image Xpress Micro<http://www.moleculardevices.com/systems/high-content-imaging/imagexpress-micro-xls-widefield-high-content-analysis-system> high-content system from Molecular Devices next week, with available slots from Tuesday 12th May at 9:30 pm until Thursday 14th at 4pm The microscope has an environmental chamber (CO2, Temperature), so you can come with your live cells. It can accommodate plates and dishes and slides should be feasible as well. It is equipped with several extra long working distance lenses (4x - 60x) as well as phase contrast 10x and 20x. Though it is a widefield system, it has a "digital confocal mode" which is basically on-th-fly deconvolution to increase the signal-to-noise of your widefield images (just ask Steve for his favourite deconvolved WF images to get an idea). The software should also enables setting up different acquisition parameters as well as whole plate analysis and segmentation. I would strongly encourage you to come with your samples and test the system! A booking diary is available on Scratch, in the folder "_HCS demo" with the name "Image Xpress Demo Booking Diary". This is the fore-last demo, the last one will be the Zeiss widefield system on June 2nd-5th Looking forward to seeing you there!
