Millennium Science Odyssey Fc Imager CCD imager

The Odyssey Fc Imager is claimed to be the first CCD imager to provide infrared (IR) fluorescent and chemiluminescent imaging performance in one system. The optical system combines solid-state laser diodes at 685 and 785 nm with a low-noise, CCD camera for detection of IR and chemiluminescent signals.

The system simplifies chemiluminescence detection and film and darkroom steps are eliminated, along with the hazardous waste and excessive water usage of film development.

FieldBrite XT technology acquires images over the full dynamic range, with minimal user adjustments. Its technologies enable a single instrument to perform quantitative IR fluorescent detection as well as qualitative chemiluminescent detection. Publication-quality images are produced with either detection method. (Because chemiluminescence is a time-dependent enzymatic reaction, its quantitative range is limited. IR fluorescence is superior for quantification.)

The system includes Li-Cor Image Studio software for fast image acquisition and analysis. Users push a button, and targets of interest can be imaged over more than six logs of linear dynamic range in every acquisition.
