Filter Sets
The Acumen eX3 uses specialised filter sets to select distinct emission wavelengths for analysis. A wide range of plug-and-play filter sets are available to purchase in addition to those supplied as standard. Filter sets may also be custom designed if necessary.
Slide Scanning
The Acumen eX3 is capable of scanning large tissue sections mounted on microscope slides and is undeniably suited for this use due to its large field of view (400mm2). The rapid collection of multi-coloured fluorescence data from whole sections of tissue may be achieved in minutes.
To facilitate tissue scanning, TTP LabTech offer screen printed microscope slides for the accurate targeting of tissue samples within a defined scan area. Slides may be immersed in water baths for tissue section retrieval. Alternatively, blank slides may be placed on a location jig with two designated scan areas etched in its upper surface.
To automate the scanning of multiple slides per run, TTP LabTech have designed two slide holders, each incorporating up to 4 slides in SBS microplate format. The top-loading slide holder is designed to prevent tissue sections from rounding or lifting up at the edges. The bottom loading slide holder is robot friendly, and may be stacked for automated loading of multiple holders into the Acumen eX3 via commercial plate handling robots.
