PRODUCT

3D morphology and internal structure

  • OCT is the technique that can acquire the tomogram of the live cell or organism without aggression .Detailed observation for 3D structure of spheroids that conventional microscopes cannot recognize

Noninvasive and timelapse

  • Non-invasive, real-time observation of tomographic images and 3D morphology of spheroids, from their formation to collapse after addition of anti-cancer drugs, using OCT technology with weak near-infrared light

Easy operation

  • Simple operation on the PC screen.
  • Unnecessary of special training & expert technique.
  • Compatible with general micro well plates (SBS format) and culture dish.Because of the same workflow with microscope, it enables to reduce experiment cost and burden on researcher

FEATURES

3D morphological analyses for cultures / internal structures with OCT

OCT is the technique that can acquire the tomogram of the live cell or organism without aggression by using feeble near-infrared light.
Researchers can acquire 3D image safety and in real time without having any obstacles action for the living body as they use our device.
