The Agilent BioTek Cytation C10 combines confocal and widefield microscopy with multimode microplate reading. Its water immersion objectives enhance light capture, reducing exposure times and phototoxic effects on live cells. A bubble detection feature ensures image quality by preventing blurring from inconsistent water columns. With a spinning disk confocal module and disk pinhole options, researchers can achieve clearer, detailed views of thick biological samples. This system also offers widefield fluorescence, brightfield, and phase contrast optics, along with monochromator-based optics for specificity and sensitivity. Control and analysis are managed through the Agilent BioTek Gen5 software.
