Imaging Reimagined
In March, Daylight Solutions announced the launch of the world’s first commercially available laser-based infrared microscopy platform. The microscope, called Spero™, features breakthrough chemical imaging and analysis on a real-time basis and offers a combination of excellent visibility, instantaneous results in “live mode,” and a small resource footprint. “Spero provides data products and analysis capabilities that simply aren’t possible with existing instruments; it represents a true gamechanger for chemical imaging,” says Daylight Solutions president Paul Larson. “As the first laser-based infrared microscopy platform, Spero will provide rapid, high-resolution results for applications ranging from cancer research and drug discovery to food safety and materials manufacturing.” That image resolution, combined with an ultra-wide field of view, allows researchers to observe micron-scale features while also covering large areas very quickly for high throughput applications, the company adds. The instrument operates in the mid-infrared region and provides high-fidelity spectral data for the accurate identification of molecular and chemical components of complex, heterogeneous samples. But, unlike current FTIR-based instruments, full-spectrum, high-resolution hyperspectral data cubes can be collected in minutes and the Spero’s “live mode” capability allows users to observe samples with discrete frequency illumination, allowing real-time imaging of individual spectral features. The microscope also includes easy to use spectral imaging software. “I was able to do more in the small amount of time that I spent with Daylight’s Spero than I could ever do back home with the systems we have,” says Dr. Michael Walsh, assistant professor in the Department of Pathology at the University of Illinois at Chicago. “This microscope greatly exceeded my expectations.” For more information, visit www.daylightsolutions.com/spero |
