The Opera™ LX is an extendable starter configuration of the Opera, for three color applications. With this new system, the Opera platform can provide you with a solution that can grow with your needs in High Content Analysis.

The Opera™ LX base system includes three lasers and one high sensitivity CCD camera for sequential three color acquisitions. The standard configuration enables applications using UV dyes, green fluorescent proteins or green fluorescent dyes and far red dyes, and ensures a minimum of overlap between emission spectra. Other excitation combinations are optional.

You can then choose from a number of upgrades such as environmental control for live cell applications, multi-color parallel image acquisition and many automation options. The Opera LX can be field upgraded to the Opera QEHS with all its options: four lasers plus non-confocal UV excitation, four parallel CCD detection channels and up to 14 emission bands.
