As scientists try to answer increasingly complex biological questions, they need to conduct imaging experiments on a larger scale. But analyzing samples manually can be a long and difficult process , increasing the chance of producing biased data.

That’s why more scientific researchers are turning to high throughput biology, where automation meets cellular biology. And why they rely on the Operetta® High Content Imaging System, the superior solution for delivering it.

Stunning image quality. See all the possibilities.

  • High numerical aperture objectives give exceptional images for higher quality data and reliable results
  • Fast widefield imaging for routine applications
  • Confocal imaging option for image quality without compromise for more reliable data in 2D and 3D. Use confocal imaging to eliminate background, improve signal-to-noise and to protect live cell samples by minimizing photobleaching and phototoxicity
  • Unsupervised automated image acquisition and autofocus for reliable high content imaging from slides to multiple plates
  • Low and high magnification plus a large field of view allows you to look at the whole well and choose an area of interest for detailed analysis
  • Compatible with our range of imaging microplates for the best quality images
  • Expert, global service and applications support from our dedicated team of lab- and field-based application specialists, plus an exclusive HCS support portal

1.) Mouse embryonic stem cell colonies after 3 days of culturing imaged on Operetta 2.) Mouse embryoid body imaged on Operetta 3.) HeLa cells expressing an anti-Lamin-Chromobody imaged on Operetta. 4.) Mouse embryonic stem cell colonies growing on a fibroblast feeder layer imaged on Operetta
