Multiple lighting options

Enhance your fluorescent lighting options

Screening for fluorescence on agar is advantageous because it is cost-effective and very high-throughput.

While PhenoBooth+ can detect fluorescence, bear in
mind this is a macroscopic CCD imaging workstation and not a microscope. As such, it will not detect subcellular or low levels of expression.

Wavelengths

Top and bottom white illumination plus three colour channels included as standard.

Blue, Violet and Cyan

Relative Luminous Intensity vs. Wavelength is shown below. Violet: 50% intensity range from 375 – 400nm, with peak ~390nm. Blue: 50% intensity range from 465 – 475nm, with a peak at 470nm. Cyan: 50% intensity range from 490 – 530nm with a peak of 510nm.
