ROCK IMAGER 2 is our Benchtop imager designed for visible and UV imaging. It can hold up to two SBS-footprint plates, or 1 Linbro plate with an optional adaptor. It is sold as either a visible light imager, a visible and UV light imager with separate light paths, or a single light path visible and UV imager. Separate visible and UV light paths provide color visible light images, while single light path visible or UV imagers provide grayscale visible light images.
All ROCK IMAGERs use a 5-megapixel, 2/3" color CCD camera which captures high-quality images at speeds of up to 25 frames per second. 12x motorized zoom optics with 1.66 μm feature resolution provides sharp, high-contrast images to the camera and allows small feature zooming.
The ROCK IMAGER Continuous Zoom lens enables you to view your images at up to 7x via three lenses that are controlled with a motorized wheel. You can also purchase ROCK IMAGER UV lenses with a fixed zoom option of one of three zoom settings: 2.5x, 5.0x, and 7.0x.
The UV imager uses 100% UV optimized components including UV grade optics, a UV sensitive camera, and UV lighting, allowing for high contrast images with the ability to see crystals as small as 2 μm.
ROCK IMAGER 2 can accommodate up to two SBS-footprint plates.
The polarizer helps to filter out reflected light to allow for more heavily contrasted images. The condenser concentrates light onto the well being examined in either a cone shape or a column shape depending on the condenser value. Increasing the condenser value will increase image contrast, resulting in clearer images.
The barcode scanner provides the imager with information about the plate taken from the barcode labels. This information will vary based on whether or not you are using ROCK MAKER, but typically includes information about the plate type, experiment info, imaging schedules, and imaging settings.
