FluorCam - Model Z125 - Green Fluorescent Protein (GFP) Closed Chlorophyll Fluorescence
From Plant Photosynthesis
The Z125 GFP Closed FluorCam is designed for both chlorophyll fluorescence and other fluorescent protein imaging. The basic system of the Z100 FluorCam – Closed (CCD camera, four fixed LED panels) is supplemented here by a fully motorized and software-controlled filter wheel and appropriate filter sets for the detection and imaging of green fluorescent protein (GFP) in standard system, red-shifted GFP, or yellow fluorescent protein (YFP) (optional). The blue emitting and red fluorescent protein can be detected and imaged in absence of chlorophyll. The device configuration also provides user-friendly and quick transition between the GFP and chlorophyll fluorescence detection and imaging.

Product Details
The Z125 GFP FluorCam – Closed System similarly to the Z100 FluorCam – Closed System consists of a high resolution and long integration time TOMI-2 CCD camera (1360×1024 pixels), 4 fixed LED panels that illuminate the sample, imaging software with protocols and 7 position filter wheel for imaging chlorophyll and GFP. Filters for other fluorescent proteins are optional. The LED panels provide uniform irradiance over samples up to 10 x 10 cm – suitable for small plants, detached leaves, petri plates with seedlings or algal cultrures, etc. The system allows dark adaptation and includes a high-performance PC and a comprehensive software package for control of the system, data aquicsition and analysis.
