OverviewThe FMP Image Station combines a choice of a Trinocular or Monocular Microscope with high resolution digital video

camera and one or two Micro Manipulator Units on an XY stage large enough to hold two microtiter plates. A UV camera and light source can be optionally mounted to the rear of the Microscope so automated imaging with both can occur. The Micro Manipulators can be equipped with a variety of standard and custom tools. Each manipulator has a standard XYZ axis plus an optional Rotary Tool axis. When equipped with Micro Tweezers, the tweezers compression is servo controlled for delicate handling of specimens or micro structures. The Micro Syringe has a capacity of 0.1 ul to 10 ul and can be used for a variety of tasks either slide or microtiter related. The Harvesting Tools allow semi automated harvesting of crystals as small as 5 microns without the need for delicate hand manipulation. Two axis Specimen Positioner gives 3D viewing of entomology specimens.
