Page 9: Description
Product name: VivaTome VivaTome is a system for creating and imaging optical sections in real time with the aid of a so-called spinning disk provided with a grid pattern. As light source, an HXP 120 / HXP 120 C is used. - Page 10 In this case, K represents a fixed constant correcting differences in the light efficiency of both imaging pathways. A scaled addition of both images yields a conventional widefield image. Thus, all the information from the specimen is captured by VivaTome in a raw data image and is available for further analysis. 423639-9000-701 M60-2-0046 e 05/2012...
