The InnoScan 1100 AL is a confocal scanner equipped with 3 excitation lasers (488, 532 and 635nm) coupled with 3 extremely sensitive photomultiplier tubes (PMT) for whole-slide image acquisition. The PMTs are linear over the entire dynamic range (from 1% to 100%) so the PMT gain is easily set for optimal fluorescence levels avoiding saturation.
The InnoScan 1100 AL has the highest resolution on the market (up to 0.5µm/pixel). Thanks to real-time autofocus system, the effect of substrate deformation is eliminated, giving perfect homogeneity across the entire reading surface.
InnoScan scanners are industry renowned for their excellent photometric properties, particularly in terms of sensitivity and signal-to-noise ratio.
The XDR mode (Extended Dynamic Range), provides a 6 log dynamic range maximising low signal detection whilst avoiding saturated spots.
