Correlative microscopy is a sophisticated approach combining the imaging capabilities of different powerful, but typically separated microscopy platforms. Laborious, time-consuming and limited-precision procedures of getting a sample from one instrument to another have however limited the possibility of obtaining fast and reliable results.
CorrSlide™ technology improves the efficiency by offering transparent slides with integrated, high-precision fiducial marks, combined with an ITO coating, for use in light, fluorescence and scanning electron microscopy. The fiducial marks enable easy relocation of samples and determining exactly the same spot on a sample with micron precision under different resolutions and imaging techniques. Additionally, the transparent conductive oxide coating (ITO) allows sample investigation under light microscopy and supports charge drain in scanning electron microscopy. CorrSlide™ is compatible with cell cultures and suitable for cell growth.
CorrSlide™ can be provided with standard or customer-specific fiducial marks, but also without markings on requested.
