3D imaging

ACP ZERO offers EPI-luminescence in addition to TIRF.  Different slices in the sample are then imaged by adjusting the microscope focal plane. ACP ZERO can automatically acquire a 3D stack of images, thus revealing cellular structures and complexes that are not visible in a single 2D image. A 3D deconvolution algorithm is then used to remove out-of-focus light and image blur, leaving a clearer image with sharper features. ACP ZERO includes a software suite which uses an accelerated deconvolution algorithm. 3D deconvolution is therefore easily integrated into the workflow to assess the acquired images.
