Software for freeze drying microscope
A new system which significantly reduces freeze drying cycle development time, combining still and motion picture image capture, is available from Biopharma Technologies
With the new imaging station, the viewing optics are mounted in a hinged arm that tilts out of the way, giving unrestricted access to the sample.
Two standard microscope objectives can be fitted to the arm, and switching between them is quick and easy.
A long working distance condenser with 10x phase ring and polariser is mounted above an adjustable diaphragm in the base.
The optical imaging station also includes 1000W halogen bulb light source and power supply with variable light intensity adjustment, all in a small footprint.
Existing compound microscopes can be used if one is available.
The Lyostat2 comes with a colour Qicam digital camera as standard, offering 1.4m pixels in 12-bit digital output.
The real-time digital video and measurement system allows capture of up to 80GB of information, with gallery images easily compressed into various picture or movie formats.
Each Lyostat2 is supplied fully validated against published eutectic or collapse temperatures for a range of standard solutions.
The Lyostat2 freeze drying microscope is available from Biopharma Technology. Request a free brochure from Biopharma Technology ...
