JANSi UVEX™-m UV Imaging Microscope
Manual High Performance UV Imaging for Every Lab

* Detect Protein Crystals  * Cool LED Illumination 
* Affordable  * Compact  * Easy-to-Use

The JANSi UVEX™-m UV Fluorescence Microscope for protein crystallography captures both UV fluorescence and visible wavelength images from crystallization drops enabling you to locate crystals even in opaque drops, LCP or under heavy precipitate that could otherwise be missed using traditional imaging techniques.  All JANSi UVEX systems come standard with the same high precision, UV optimized, Quartz glass objectives.  The JANSi UVEX-m features a 6.1 megapixel CCD providing optical resolution of less than 1 micron, and affording you the ability to detect very small crystals a few microns in size.  This not only saves valuable time in the process, but also has the potential to save money in setting up new experiments. 

The JANSi UVEX-m also allows you to discriminate between protein crystals and other objects such as salt crystals.  Even in co-crystallization trials in which fluorescence may be quenched, a distinct intensity profile in the fluorescence image may differentiate between the crystals of the complex and the non-protein crystals.  By comparing the visible image and the UV fluorescence image, you can immediately detect and identify protein crystals, even a few microns in size.

The JANSi UVEX-m is a manual observation station featuring the UV and Visible Wavelength LED Illumination Light Base, the optical train and the CCD System all mated to a computer for capturing images of wells of interest.
