Microscopy

The BioChip SpaceLab offers fully automated time-lapse live-cell imaging using an imaging system that supports brightfield and fluorescence microscopy. We support 4x, 10x, 20x and 60x magnification.

Bright-field

The BioChip SpaceLab allows investigators to observe live-cell cultures on a minutes to hour basis for the duration of the experiment using phase-contrast imaging. It's imaging capabilities allow investigators to:

  • Characterize confluence, cell growth, and proliferation
  • Observe cell function, migration, and morphology
These capabilities support Adherent, Suspension, and Organiod cell cultures.

Fluorescence

The use of fluorescent microscopy allows for the investigator to characterize cellular processes and sub-cellular functions in real-time for the duration of the experiment. The BioChip Space Lab provides 7 laser excitation wavelengths and multiple dichroic and emission filters offer a wide array of fluorescent imaging capabilities.
