GE OMX V4 Blaze

The GE OMX V4 Blaze achieves super-resolution through linear SIM (structured illumination microscopy) and can double your resolution in all directions (xyz). Three cameras and patented technology enable blazing fast multi-channel 3D-SIM acquisitions which is especially beneficial for live-cell microscopy. Besides SIM, the OMX also can provide Ring TIRF illumination, perform photokinetic experiments, and produce simultaneous widefield acquisitions.

The OMX V4 Blaze ("OMX") can beat the resolution of conventional microscopes by a factor of two in all directions through 3D-SIM, simultaneously image with three channels/cameras (widefield), has Ring TIRF capabilities, and more.

  • Linear 3D-SIM ideally leads to resolutions of ~120nm in xy, ~300nm in z (for green channel)
  • Modalities: widefield (deconvolution available), 2D-SIM, 3D-SIM, Ring TIRF
  • z-stacks, time-lapse imaging, photokinetic module
  • hardware-based autofocus for timelapses: Ultimate Focus
  • Live-cell imaging: temperature and CO2 control
  • Accepts many sample holders--but contact for confirmation
