CytoViva microscope and hyperspectral imaging system

CytoViva

The CytoViva microscope and hyperspectral imaging system provides real-time optical imaging and spectral imaging analysis of nanomaterials and biological specimens. This microscope can localize metal nanoparticles and nanotubes in fixed or live cells. Also, the biological interactions between nanomaterials and cells can be studied with localization within the cell and organelles. Aggregations and dispersions can be evaluated within the cells. Toxicological assessments, cellular uptake on cells and histopathology can be evaluated.
