The Sensor measures: Fluorescence

Closed GFPCam FC 800-C / 1010GFP is a GFP version of Closed FluorCam and represents a highly innovative, robust and user-friendly system for combined multispectral and kinetic fluorescence imaging. The basic system of the closed FluorCam (CCD camera, four fixed LED panels) is complemented by a fully motorized and software controlled filter wheel and appropriate filter sets for the detection and imaging of green fluorescent protein (GFP), GFP shifted to the red (EGFP) or other fluorescent protein variants. Blue emitting protein and fluorescent red protein can be detected and imaged in the absence of chlorophyll. It consists of a CCD camera, four to five fixed LED panels (4 + 1 additional, which is not included in the standard configuration) and a filter wheel equipped with up to 7 different emission filters. LED panels provide uniform irradiance over a 90 × 90mm area, suitable for imaging small plants (such as Arabidopsis thaliana), loose leaves, mosses, lichens, algae plaque colonies or algae suspensions, etc. The system is very compact and allows easy adaptation to darkness of an investigated sample.
The closed GFPCam FluorCam generates fluorescence signal images at any time during the experiment and displays them using a mock color scale. Full kinetic analysis is available. In all applications, the camera enables images of fluorescence transients induced by actinic light or by saturation flashes. The time and amplitude of the actinic irradiance are determined by user-defined protocols. The device configuration also provides a quick and easy-to-use switch between GFP and chlorophyll fluorescence detection.

The closed GFPCam FluorCam includes a high-performance PC and a complete software package comprising total system control, data acquisition, and image processing. For a seasoned professional, the software offers a sophisticated programming language that can be used to design novel timing and measurement sequences.
