• Light emitted from a white light source is passed through an excitation filter, then distributed through 19 fiber optic strands and uniformally distributed to the slide/specimen.
• The emitted fluorescence travels through an objective lens, a designated emission filter, and is captured by a cooled, scientific grade CCD camera.
• Except for the precision stage, which positions the slide/specimen, and the rotating filter wheel, the entire optical path is precisely aligned and permanently fixed.
• At each slide position all desired wavelengths are acquired by rotating the filter wheel, yielding perfect channel co-registration within the image. Images are taken at multiple slide positions in order to assemble the high-resolution image "tiles" into a single, high-resolution image.

Adaptive Imaging Resolution

Why do you need higher resolution?
- to Q/A slide chemistry

Why do you need higher resolution?
- for imaging small targets and hi-density arrays

Several spot analysis tools are provided with the arrayWoRx^e system:

• Data Inspector (3-D view, histogram, intensities table)
• Line profile
• Distance measurement
• Point intensity measurement
