1. 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.

2. 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

3. 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.
