SIM® Structured Illumination Microscopy

Vala’s Structured Illumination Microscopy (SIM™) matches the resolution of best-in-class confocal microscopes at the fast speed of lower-resolution drug screening tools.  SIM offers the smallest footprint, with the best ease-of-use, and at half the price of competing tools.

Only SIM delivers the greatest combination of resolution and speed at the lowest photoxicity. All competing technologies sacrifice one for the other.  As a result, SIM generates even more disease-sensitive details – in a compact, easy-to-use and value-priced tool that virtually all scientists crave, and can now afford.

Combining KIC & SIM

Adding SIM to KIC creates 3D imaging with:

Resolution equal to single-spot laser-scanning confocal microscopy (sLSCM)

Lowest possible phototoxicity (wide field excitation)

Plate scanning speeds comparable to spinning disk systems*

* Plate scanning systems exhibit resolution only halfway between sLCSM and wide field instruments.

Contact Vala to learn more about how SIM can help your drug discovery and mechanistic biological assays in high throughput screens via fast kinetics of temperamental cell models such as hiPSC-cardiomyocytes and –neurons.
