Magnification Module
Precision Optics and Maximum Flexibility
The Magnification Module is a key sub-component of the SMILLA HiRes-FIM module, integrating three essential elements for dynamic flow imaging microscopy: the light source, the magnification objective, and the flow cell. This compact module allows users to easily adapt their optical setup by replacing just one component – saving time while maximizing operational flexibility.
Available with 1.25x, 2x, 4x, 10x, and 20x magnification, and from Q1/2026 also with 40x, it is perfectly suited for a wide range of application and imaging needs, covering a total size range from 0.2 µm up to 2mm. The flow cell is built into a solid, exchangeable cartridge, offering protection and fast replacement. Both the magnification module and the flow cell cartridge feature NFC chips for automatic recognition and configuration.
Key components:
Light Source
Each illumination assembly is optimized for its respective magnification. Light intensity is selectable between calibrated and adjustable modes for maximum flexibility
Objective
Equipped with high-performance microscope objectives, ensuring superior image clarity and optical accuracy
Flow Cell
The glass flow cell is embedded in a protective cartridge and features a thin wall design for enhanced clarity. Available with multiple channel depths for different magnifications (40µm*, 50µm, 80µm, 100µm, 300µm, 600µm & 2mm)
*40µm version introduced Q1/2026 with 40X magnification
