Description

Opera Phenix® Plus is a high throughput microplate confocal imager for High-Content Screening (HCS). It can acquire, analyze and manage fluorescence, brightfield and digital phase contrast images.


Configuration

Two sCMOS cameras:
7 mega pixel (2160x2160), 16 bit resolution, 6.5 μm pixel size
Simultaneous acquisition of up to four channels with minimized crosstalk
Each camera supports fast recording mode with up to 100 fps
