1 Different system configurations like e.g. basic systems with brightfield only or customized filter and objective lenses set-ups are available.
2 Throughput per day depends on experiment configurations (e.g. exposure time, plate type, focus options, # of imaging channels…).
3 CELLAVISTA® can be combined with an external incubation and plate handling option (SYBOT X-1000 or other automation systems), whereby the plates are only outside the incubator during the measuring time.
4 YT-SOFTWARE® includes the same image analysis tools for both CELLAVISTA® and NYONE®. Differences in usable applications arise only due to different hardware configurations (e.g. different illuminations or camera chips).
5 Hardware automation-package available.

Different Variants of CELLAVISTA® 4
SCIENTIFIC Line – More than high resolution
Featuring high-sensitivity 16-bit sCMOS cameras combined with high numerical aperture objectives, the SCIENTIFIC instrument series achieve better resolution in a higher dynamic range and employ a quantum efficiency of more than 80% (relevant to detect weak fluorescence). This enables the performance of higher dynamic range assays due to a better signal-to-noise (S/N or SNR) ratio.
CELLAVISTA® 4K - No artificial calculations, just pure resolution
The first automated 4K cell imager series with high throughput and configurable resolution settings (data compression) - because resolution can matter!
We have invested a lot of time and know-how to achieve this true 0.8 µm resolution at 10x. This gives you the possibility especially in brightfield area to check for monoclonality of your SCC applications and not miss a single cell fragment.
