CIMA™
CIMA is a hyperspectral confocal system sensitive between 400 nm and 1700 nm.
Description
Confocal Hyperspectral Microscope
CIMA is a hyperspectral confocal system sensitive between 400 and 1700 nm. Spectral resolution can be as low as 0.2 nm in the visible range, and 0.6 nm in the infrared. It pairs a galvanometer head and one of the fastest and most sensitive cameras on the market to yield an acquisition rate above 300 spectra per second. CIMA provides three acquisition modes: confocal hyperspectral imaging, multispectral fluorescence imaging, and emission spectroscopy of a sample in a cuvette.
CIMA Applications Overview
- Simultaneously study the spatial distribution and spectral properties of complex nanomaterials such as upconverting nanoparticles and quantum dots.
- Perform in vitro or in vivo high resolution hyperspectral microscopy.
- Develop new sensors based on environment dependent spectral shifting of their fluorescence signal.
