CytoViva® Darkfield- and Hyperspectral Microscopy
CytoViva’s enhanced darkfield optics allows the visualization of nanoscale objects (metals, oxides, polymers, viruses or liposomes) without any fluorescent labeling. A spectrograph (VNIR 400-1000nm oder SWIR 900-1700nm) acquires hyperspectral images from which the nano-materials can be characterized and classified.
The CytoViva® technology works in different substrates and environments (e.g. cells, tissue, all kinds of liquids). The hyperspectral analysis is very sensitive on chemical properties of the refracting objects and can for example resolve different surface modifications (functional groups) individually on single nanoparticles.
CytoViva® Measurement and Analysis
- High-resolution darkfield image with very high signal to noise ratio
- Line-by-line hyperspectral image acquisition with X-Y scan stage and spectrograph
- Generation of spectral libraries of the targeted specimen
- Spectral angular mapper procedure to map the matching data in the hyperspectral image
