Macro-Illumination Imaging System Allows imaging of fluorescent, macro size subjects, like living animals, living plants and plates. The camera is attached to a copy stand allowing it to be moved vertically. The zoom lens allows additional adjustment. Fluorescent samples are placed on the Illumatool TLS LT-9500 viewing area and are imaged from above.

Imaging Cabinet This cabinet is used with the imaging system to provide a dark environment It is useful to contain moving animals during the viewing process

LT-9500 Illunatool Tunable Lighting System Excitation of fluorescent dyes, such as GFP, contained within the samples occurs via the above lighting model. It consists of a lamp supply which delivers a single light source. It gets divided into two equal Epi line lights, which are placed above and to the side of the sample. The result is a strong excitation signal that has little optical noise.
