What is AIM™ LPA?
The Automated Imaging Microscope (AIM™) is an advanced Liquid Particle Analyzer (LPA) that allows users to identify and measure microscopic particles in liquid samples from 1.5 to 200 microns automatically in 4 minutes.
In simple terms, AIM is a flow imaging microscope (FIM) for automated microscopy. In traditional automated microscope imaging, the sample is placed on a microscope slide, and the slide is moved to different positions for imaging. AIM flows the sample through an imaging area in a continuous fashion, stopping the flow to take a unique image of the sample.
AIM Combines the best features of a particle analyzer, a microscope and a flow cytometer.
