Fluorescent calibration* slide for low magnification systems designed for the quality control of widefield microscopes (QC).
Argo-LM slides are specifically designed for low magnification microscopes, and especially suited for wide-field microscopes
Argolight slides are designed to do routine quality assessments and reproducibility assessments of light microscopes.
They are made to improve reproducibility of light microscopy image data through quality control management of instruments (QC).
Argo-LM slides are re-usable long lasting fluorescent slides. While intensity may fluctuate with time, we warranty that they will be fluorescent for a lifetime.
Argo-LM slides fluorescence excitation spectrum is a continuum. All slides are compatible with any excitation from 250 nm to 650 nm. Emission is also a continuum starting about 10-20 nm after excitation and ending around 800 nm.
Each Argo-LM slide contains
several fluorescent microscopic patterns
Each pattern is designed to be processed with the free companion software to detect aberrations and shift in microscopes performance. Users can catch issues before they can impact image quality and/or use the slides images to troubleshoot the image.
