Quick Facts

The ZOE Fluorescent Cell Imager eliminates the complexities of cell imaging associated with traditional microscopes. This fluorescence imaging system combines the ease of use of a personal tablet with the power of an inverted microscope.

• Simplified cell imaging — the intuitive touch-screen interface allows users to view cells, capture images, and create multichannel merges with minimal training
• Flexible operation — brightfield and three fluorescence channels enable use for routine cell culture applications and more sophisticated imaging applications
• Fluorescence imaging at your bench — light shield permits fluorescence imaging in ambient light
• Large viewing area — the motorized stage and wide field of view allow you to see more of your sample, faster
• This resource is free for all BRC users and doesn’t require reservations.

Applications

Use the ZOE Cell Imager to check/screen samples prior to high-content analysis (HCA), high-throughput screening (HCS), confocal imaging, or fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS). With a brightfield and three fluorescent channels, the ZOE Cell Imager has all the features needed for daily cell culture work as well as fluorescent applications:

• Visual estimation of cell confluency
• Observation of general cell health and morphology
• Cell growth and proliferation monitoring
• Capturing cell images (with or without fluorescent labels)
• Visualization of expressed fluorescent proteins
• Immunofluorescent protein localization
• Estimation of transfection efficiency
