Imaging System Specifications

Laser Source

The LICORbio Atlas Imager is a Class 1 laser product.

Laser Source Maximum Laser Output Beam Divergence
375 nm 70mW 0.075°
488 nm 30 mW 0.038°
520 nm 55 mW 0.046°
640 nm 210mW 0.075°
685 nmnm 450 mW 0.085°
785 nm 1.2 W 0.060°

Note: The laser beams are approximately collimated.

Note: Actual power output is significantly lower than the maximum power ratings.

Strong Electromagnetic Fields

Operating the LICORbio Atlas Imager in the presence of a strong electromagnetic field in the 100MHz to 400MHz frequency range has been shown to degrade the performance of the luminescent detector. It is possible that some allowable faint bars or striping may be seen at slightly more than the background levels of the camera. When used in the expected environment, this interference should be uncommon.

LED

LED Risk Group: Exempt group in accordance with IEC 62471:2006. The LEDs do not pose any photobiological hazard.

Focus

Focus offset range: -1.00 mm to 5.00 mm, in 0.01 mm increments.

Pixel Resolution

Available imaging resolutions: 5 μm, 10 μm, 20 μm, 50 μm, 100 μm

Maximum Height of Samples

To image an item on the LICORbio Atlas Imager, the item must be 23 mm or less from the Scan Surface to the top of the item. Tall samples could be pushed off the scan surface during imaging and fall into sensitive areas of the instrument that should not come into contact with samples. Special care should be taken with ex vivo samples.

Operating Specifications

Operating Conditions

For indoor use only; operating temperature 15 - 30 °C and dew point not greater than 22 °C, non-condensing; altitude not to exceed 2000 m.

Power Requirements

  • Universal input range is between 100-240 VAC (voltage fluctuations not to exceed 10% of the nominal voltage); < 3 Amp maximum; At 120 V: 0.5 Amp typical when idle; 50-60 Hz.
  • Power Supply: One end of the provided power supply connects to a wall outlet and the other end connects to the imager. The power supply converts from wall outlet voltage to 24 VDC (5 Amp). Only use the provided power supply to plug in the imager. If you need another power supply, contact LICORbio.
