ImageXpress® Pico Automated Cell Imaging System

Digital microscopy with automated brightfield, fluorescence, and Digital Confocal imaging

The ImageXpress® Pico Automated Cell Imaging System is more than a digital microscope, combining high-resolution imaging with powerful analysis. Whether running fluorescence imaging or brightfield assays, the automated imager features a comprehensive portfolio of preconfigured protocols for cell-based assays to shorten the learning curve, so you can start running experiments quickly. With features such as Digital Confocal* 2D on-the-fly deconvolution, Autofocus, Live Preview, multi-wavelength cell scoring, and optional IN Carta® Image Analysis Software workflow, the ImageXpress Pico offers you the ability to advance your discoveries in a small, affordable imager.

• Get started quickly

  With the icon-driven, user-friendly CellReporterXpress® Image Acquisition and Analysis Software, your entire lab can streamline their digital microscopy. Start capturing and analyzing images with minimal training.

• Do more than cell counting

  Expand your assays with over 25 preconfigured templates optimized for many cell-based experiments including apoptosis, mitochondrial evaluation, 3D cell models, live cell/timelapse, multiwavelength cell scoring, and neurite tracing.

• Automate imaging affordably

  Alleviate the hassle of going to the core lab to run your samples. The system’s lab-friendly price allows researchers to afford the convenience of automated imaging and analysis on their lab bench. With options like Digital Confocal, environmental control and z-stack acquisition, the system can be ordered to fit your research.

Features

• Multiple imaging modes

  The ImageXpress Pico system offers objectives ranging from 4x to 63x and can operate in colorimetric, brightfield, fluorescence, or Digital Confocal 2D on-the-fly deconvolution imaging modes.

• Preconfigured analysis protocols

  Over 25 preconfigured analysis protocols ranging from simple cell counting to sophisticated neurite tracing analysis. With features like the click-to-find tool, analysis parameters can be optimized by simply clicking on a few cells that match specific criteria.

• Plate-to-individual cell view

  Data can be visualized at multiple levels from plate overview to individual cells. A wide variety of data visualization tools from the plate and cellular level empower users to learn as much as possible from their images and assays.

• Z-stack acquisition

  Generate sharper images for more accurate segmentation using z-stack acquisition. Acquire a series of images at different focal points to capture more detail than with a single slice. Users can include all slices or select which slices to include in the final projection.

• Quickly and easily identify regions of interest

  Live Preview simplifies identification of regions of interest, letting users pan around the sample and interactively adjust focus with a virtual joystick, saving time and effort.

• Environmental control

  Multi-day, time lapse, and live cell assays can be run using the onboard environmental system with options for humidity, CO2, and O2 control. Optimized to prevent z-drift, the software also provides real-time monitoring of environmental state, ensuring optimal assay conditions.
