Automated Image Capture
Gen5 enables images to be automatically captured by a variety of methods, using either image-based or laser-based autofocusing. These include single image capture, or montaging and z-stacking to visualize greater areas and depths of a sample. Beaconing can also be included to image-independent areas across multiple wells of a microplate, or across a vessel. Kinetic image capture is also possible using these same methods, over minutes, hours, or days.
