Project Description

This image was acquired on the 6D / High Throughput microscope with a 2x /0.1 NA objective, brightfield illumination, and a color camera. The pixel size is 1.5 μm, which is diffraction limited for the 2x / 0.1 NA objective. This is stitched together from about 250 images to give a 4 gigapixel final image. The original sample was about 10 x 7 cm and it took about 15 minutes to capture the entire image. The edges are cut off due to the limits of stage travel on the microscope. Sample courtesy of the Grinberg lab.
