Life Science methods will visit the following conferences:
In 2026, we started a project to develop a new imaging product to inspect whole zebrafish with the highest sensitivity.
In all stereo microscopes, the zoom system decreases the NA when zooming out, this increases depth of field.
This ability is great for brightfield imaging and finding a region of interest, as more of the sample is in focus.
But for fluorescent imaging, it is a pain, as weak signals are lost in the background. For best fluorescent images,
you need to zoom in to the max to get the best signal to noise.
In contrast to a stereo microscope, our macroscope will increase sensitity when 'zooming out', by use of binning.
This allows to see single fluorescenly labelled cells in the whole zebrafish without the need to reduce the field of view.
The Macroscope allows to see 5 mm x 3.5 mm with 1 micrometer resolution at 0.35 NA.
It will become available as inspection microscope featuring a 4K touchscreen and the ability to create automated z-stacks
with brightfield and up to three fluorescent wavelengths.
