Calibration microscope slide Argo-SIM V2

fluorescence

Fluorescent* calibration slide for structured illumination systems (SIM) designed for the quality control of microscope (QC). Argo-SIM slides are specifically designed for structured illumination microscopes, and suited for algorithm-based super-resolution 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-SIM 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-SIM 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-SIM 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.
