Flexible time lapse imaging, integrated around you
Supporting dynamic, long-term imaging through tailored integration of movement, control, and capture.Labman expertise
Enabling your workflow
Bring the precision, speed and safety of time lapse imaging to your laboratory.Timing and SchedulingWe can integrate programmable timing control into your setup to enable flexible, repeatable image capture over any duration.
Stage ControlWe support the integration of motorised XY and Z movement, allowing precise repositioning across multiple locations and planes.
Environmental StabilityTo support consistent long-term imaging, we can integrate temperature, humidity, CO₂, and O₂ control modules - either as part of a custom enclosure or working alongside your existing incubators.
Camera CompatibilityWe can work with your chosen imaging hardware and ensure our integrations respect your preferred image quality, resolution, and format.
Sample HandlingWhether you're imaging vials, plates, dishes, or custom formats, we can design or adapt sample carriers and positioning systems for repeatable time-lapse capture - reducing error and drift.
Data HandlingWe can help route your captured image data into your preferred storage, analysis pipeline, or lab information system.
