MIAS-2 multimode microscopy reader MIAS-2 multimode microscopy reader



The unique combination of fully automated brightfield and fluorescence microscopic reading in the high-throughput, high-content MIAS-2 makes it the most versatile multi-mode microscopy reader on the market today.

The MIAS-2 features a state-of-the-art CCD camera, an intensified EMCCD camera and proprietary  object-based auto-focusing for real-time low-light observations below the sensitivity of the human eye.

The MIAS-2 is ideal for:

  • Cell based assays
  • Tissue and tissue sections
  • Bead assays
  • Target identification & validation
  • Small animal model organisms
  • ADMET
  • Time-lapse studies of living cells
    and model organisms
The MIAS-2 has been designed to integrate with eaZYX imaging and automation software (please see below for details). eaZYX  utilizes the concept of "Scale Space" to provide the capacity to combine powerful image analysis with custom built solutions or to allow you to build your own protocols. MIAS-2 provides automation with flexibility, sensitivity and speed to fit your current and future needs for assay development, assay optimization, high-throughput screening and hit-to-lead projects.

MIAS-2 & eaZYX Features
  • Object-based auto-focusing in regular and low light conditions 
  • Extreme sensitivity and reduced phototoxicity with intensified EMCCD camera
  • Sensitivity, resolution, flexibility and speed
  • 1.25x – 63x high numerical aperture objectives
  • Ultra-precise object positioning below optical resolution (<0.35 micrometer) 
  • Multimode microscopy reading
  • Works with 384 well plates, Petri dishes, tissue sections and arrays
  • Cell-based, tissue-based and small animal applications
  • VersaTILE technology providing seamless tiling of high resolution images for large area viewing
  • VersaTIME technology providing powerful time-lapse and video analysis
  • Real time auto-focus and acquisition on weak signals without loss of speed
  • Image acquisition and analysis in parallel
  • "Plate stack to database-ready result" level of automation
  • From "hands-on operation" to a 300-plate screening campaign in a mouse click

eaZYX Image Analyzer system eaZYX Image Analyzer system



eaZYX Image Analyzer is a high performance computer with image analysis software. It offers an open data structure and eaZYX-LINK data and image browser. Images captured from the MIAS-2 Imaging System (please see above for details) or virtually any other microscope and camera system can be analyzed by the eaZYX Image Analyzer for:

  • Label-free live cell image analysis for cell count, confluence, clonality and colony size
  • Fluorescent image analysis including multimode - nuclear, cytoplasm, apoptosis, nuclear condensation and receptor clustering
  • Model organisms such as C Elegans (biomass, development, motion tracking, coiler spotting) and Zebra fish (embryo development, motion tracking, angiogram (live and post-mortem))
