Turnkey System
The InCyt Pm2TM Photometry System
includes everything needed for calcium and other ratiometric fluorophore
experiments. The system includes: an inverted epi-fluorescence/phase
contrast microscope, photon counting photometer assembly, computer
controlled filter changer, Xenon UV/VIS arc lamp, data acquisition
& analysis computer workstation and data acquisition/analysis
software.
Ease-of-use
The InCyt Pm2TM Photometry System
was designed in a biomedical research laboratory by scientists for
scientists. Menu selection appears in the sequence in which experiments
are performed. Esoteric options that add complexity and are rarely
used have been eliminated from the menus. The software follows standard
Windows graphical-user-interface-protocol. The hardware has been
tested for reliability and ruggedness, as well as, simplicity of
set up and operation. New users can learn to use the system and
be doing their first experiment in a few hours.
Data Collection,
Analysis & Presentation
Data can be measured continuously
in user definable regions of interest. The results are displayed
in real time and can be saved for post hoc analysis. Ion concentration
within cells or ratio values can be displayed. Data files generated
by InCyt Pm2TM are stored as ASCII text.
