Study Overview
Our company has installed Keyence’s BZ-X700 all-in-one fluorescence microscope. Using this equipment, we provide a contract service for fluorescence observation of various samples.
In addition to contract services that only involve fluorescence observation of samples provided by customers, we also provide custom cell-based assay services, allowing us to perform consistent study from culturing various cells to treating the test substance and observing and analyzing using a fluorescence microscope.
Equipment used
BZ-X700 (KEYENCE)
Features of the BZ-X700
Keyence’s all-in-one fluorescence microscope, the BZ-X700, is superior to conventional fluorescence microscopes in the following ways. This dramatically shortens the entire process from imaging to analysis, and also allows for more accurate and reliable data to be obtained.
Resolving fluorescence blur
- Haze reduction (removal of fluorescence blur)
- Sectioning (laser-less, clear, blur-free images)
Advanced analysis possible
- Full focus
- 3D analysis
- Quantification
- Time lapse (observation of changes over time)
- High-resolution image stitching
Analysis example 1: Three-dimensional analysis (is GFP expressed on the cell membrane or translocated to the nucleus?)
Analysis example 2: Three-dimensional analysis (sperm)
Resistant to fading and minimizes damage
- High-sensitivity monochrome/color switchable cooled CCD
- Fade reduction mode
Ease of operation
- Fully motorized control
- Large motorized stage
- Stage view
- Navigation
- Autofocus (Instant focus ⇒ No browning of fluorescence)
- Real-time overlay (Adjust exposure time while overlaying images in real time ⇒ Create the desired multiple fluorescence images)
Brightfield observation possible
- High-sensitivity monochrome⇔color switchable cooled CCD
*Studies will be mainly conducted by those with doctoral degrees.
