VISUALIZE WHAT PLANT BIOLOGY HAS BEEN HIDING
The NightShade LB 985 In Vivo Plant Imaging System is a modular, easy to use optical imaging system dedicated to in vivo analysis of plants. Equipped with an absolutely lighttight cabinet and a deeply cooled CCD camera it enables sensitive luminescence and fluorescence monitoring in tissues, seedlings and whole plants.
The camera can be attached either to the top or the side of the darkroom – the sample chamber – to enable imaging from above and from the side. Furthermore, key environmental conditions like temperature or light can be simulated to provide a controlled growth environment.
Flexible optical setup and exquisite sensitivity
The NightShade uses an ultrasensitive back-illuminated (backlit) CCD camera with high quantum efficiency over the entire visible to near-infrared spectrum. Cooling to a delta of -100°C ensures the lowest background and highest sensitivity, even at long exposure times. In addition, the camera can be mounted either on top of the instrument to take images from above or laterally for side view images, enabling you to maintain seedlings upright in their natural vertical orientation.
Control key environmental conditions
The NightShade helps creating a standardized environment for your experiment.
Temperature control – temperature-controlled base plate to keep the temperature stable at user defined settings between 15 and 30 °C.
Daylight simulation – 2 LED panels with 4 different colours each. LEDs are individually tunable in intensity and duration to simulate daylight with both, spectral and intensity gradients.
Humidity control – the system can be placed into any appropriate environmental chamber.
Options : molecular, for plant studies
