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 7T Instrument-based bioimaging services.

The RF transmitter unit contains two independent digital RF transmitter channels, each capable of producing pulses with fully digital 1 MHz bandwidth, 32 bit frequency resolution, ≥ 16 bit phase resolution, and ≤ 50 ns time resolution. Eight solid-state RF power amplifiers are included, each capable of producing ≥ 1 kW over 270-305 MHz. If combined into one channel, these can produce ≥ 7 kW. This configuration also supports B1 shimming when transmit phases and amplitudes are controlled independently and delivered to the phased array head coil. A second RF amplifier is broadband capable (40-305 MHz) with a single 7 kW output. The AVANTO gradient coil set (2000V/625A) is capable of producing field gradients of ≥ 45 mT/m, with high slew rates ≥ 200 T/(m*s).
