Biological Imaging Service—AIRC 12T Instrument

Biological imaging is an important research tool for understanding tissue structure and elucidating the various physiological functions of living organisms. It uses light or electron microscopy to obtain direct images of the microstructure of biological cells and tissues, and the resulting images are analyzed to understand the various physiological processes of biological cells. CD BioSciences' Bioimaging Centre has dozens of devices and, more importantly, our expertise and experience are invaluable to the industries and clients we serve. We can provide AIRC 12T Instrument-based bioimaging services.

Summary

The 11.75 Tesla (T) horizontal magnet has a clear bore diameter of 31 cm and the ID of the large gradient set is 20 cm. Higher gradient strengths and faster slew rates are available from a gradient insert that has an 9 cm ID. The RF transmitter unit contains two broadband frequency synthesizers and two digital RF transmitters capable of producing 180-600 MHz and 6‑365 MHz pulses, respectively, with each amplifier capable of ≥ 1 kW peak power. This instrument is equipped with a Resonance Research, Inc high-bandwidth shim power supply for demanding quantitative imaging and spectroscopy studies.

In recent years, with the development of optical imaging technology, especially the introduction of digital imaging and computer image analysis, bioimaging has become an indispensable method in cell biology research.
