Session Four
Unity life – the all in one laser free bench top confocal for live cell imaging
Presenter: Dr Phillipa Timmins
In these troubling times, when space, funding and time are at a premium and when confocal imaging is becoming increasingly important, we are pleased to introduce unity life.
Unity life is a laser free, compact, bench top spinning disk confocal with dimensions of just 482 x 222 x 396 mm and weighing around 25kg. Everything is integrated inside including: LED light source, sCMOS detector, computer, motorised x, y and z, 37oC incubator (with integrated humidity and CO2 sensors) and the whole thing is controlled by an iPad. Auto calibrating and with its own antivibration suspension, simply plug in the power lead, connect to your lab CO2 supply and you are ready to go.
The unity range is designed to sit on a bench in a lab, or in an unused corner of a core facility. Whether you are dealing with fixed or live cells, tissue sections or model organisms, unity will enable you to collect quality confocal images while freeing up time on your more sophisticated instrumentation.
