Calibration microscope slide Argo-SIM

Usage Argolight slide are designed to routinely check the stability of the characteristics of your systems. Description Argo-SIM slides are re-usable stable fluorescence slides for assessing and monitoring fluorescence-based imaging systems. The Argo-SIM slides are specifically designed for structured illumination microscopes, as well as any system using deconvolution algorithms. Each Argo-SIM slide contains several fluorescent microscopic patterns designed to help the user detect aberration in imaging systems. Their intensity and spectrum are stable for over 3 years. The analysis of pattern images can be simplified using Argolight software solutions. More about slides stability The slides are compatible with excitation from 350 nm to 650 nm (Fluorescence excitation over 550 nm requires sensitive sensors). Ideal to: - Ensure reliability and stability of an imaging system – obtain coherent measurements comparable over several years (including fluorescence quantities). - Set-up and maintain quality management at a low cost for fluorescence measurements. Argo-SIM strengths: - Simplicity: No need for refrigerated storage, no consumable to add. - Ruggedness: Withstands fall from 2m height thanks to its metallic enclosure. - Compatibility: Works with oil immersion, dry objectives and water immersion objectives (with the exception of water-dipping objectives) - Cost: Replaces consumable most tools and increases monitoring frequency. Content of the slide Each Argo-SIM slide contains 14 fluorescent patterns. Pattern Overview. This represents the overall repartition of patterns in the SIM slide with scale.
