Push-button operation gives access even to novice users, while experienced microscopists will appreciate the comprising application-based image analysis tools of WiSoft Athena image analysis software.
Hermes WiScan operates at extremely high speeds of image acquisition! Multi-channel imaging of a 384-well plate with four colors is finalized after 5 min – in all ranges of magnification (2x – 60x), achieving an image resolution from 0.1 – 3 µm/pixel.
Scan a 96-well plate in less than 2 min, or a 1536-well plate in 20 mins.
Hermes is a high-end and sophisticated modular platform, offering modular optional packages, which enable full customization for different user requirements.
Time Lapse Experiments
Live-cell imaging gets feasible by the instrument’s environmental stabilization conditions. While the objectives are moved for scanning, the microplate remains fixed during the assay.
Object Mapping
Smart object mapping further enhances throughput: at a low magnification, whole wells are scanned quickly to identify areas of interest. Then, these areas are imaged at a higher magnification (e.g., 20x – 60x) using patented automatic objective changer.
Automation
Automate your processes by letting a lab robot handle the plate stacking for most efficient, high-end, 24/7 imaging experiments, including remote accessibility. Numerous established robots are supported.
