Nanolive 3D Cell Explorer holographic and tomographic microscope

Click2Contact

The 3D Cell Explorer is a laboratory holographic and tomographic microscope that allows users to explore non-invasively and label-free deep into biological systems, without damaging or interfering with the cells. It offers high-speed imaging and high resolution, producing 3D images of whole cells in a matter of seconds.

Using sophisticated holographic algorithms, the microscope is able to generate detailed 3D stereoscopic visualisations of microbial and cellular life. This capability makes it suitable for applications such as oncology, immunology, microbiology and virology.

The system combines holographic and rotational scanning and enables researchers to image cells in their native environment. It operates in a label-free, non-invasive, manipulation-free and interference-free manner and allows the user to see exactly how cells behave and interact.

The rotational scanning capability enables 3D reconstructions, noise robustness and a resolution beyond the accepted limit for light microscopy, according to the company. Furthermore, the images that are produced have contrast levels that are claimed to rival MRI.

The optics have been designed to be user friendly and completely self-adjusting, ensuring the user is working with the optimal imaging conditions. STEVE, the powerful software package, offers an intuitive user interface that controls the microscope functions and allows the user to explore data using interactive digital staining to perform quantitative analyses on specimens.
