When choosing a system, a number of questions need to be addressed that include:
How easily can the system be expanded to meet your future needs?
What will be the cost of these future expansions?
How easily is the system to setup and use? Will you be provided with clear,
concise documentation and on-line support so that you and others in your lab understand
how the system operates?
How reliable and accurate are each of the components of the system? Will any
special software drivers be required if you want to add external devices such
as focus or shutter controllers? Have these drivers been developed and tested?
If you incorporate components from various vendors what is the likelihood of
incompatibility problems?
What components do you need to get started? How can you reduce your cost without
compromising on quality?
ASI has the answers!
ASI systems have been designed with the user in mind and offer the following
features:
- Easy to setup and use. ASI works closely with other manufacturers to
provide complete systems that are easy to setup and use.
- ASI's components are extremely accurate. We have developed systems for
low light video microscopy, time-lapse imaging, ratio imaging and a wide variety
of other applications. Our focus controllers and drives offer a unique closed-loop
feedback circuitry that insures compensation for microscope stage slippage and
lost motion. Our illumination control devices prevent photobleaching and offer
a number of other features.
- 100% compatibility tried and proven. All of the components that ASI
offers have been thoroughly tested as a complete system. We have worked closely
with the software manufacturers listed here to develop complete systems utilizing
our hardware and the other components listed here. On inquiry ASI will supply
you with a list of researchers in your area that are employing ASI systems. Many
of these systems have been in operation for years.
- Quality and unbeatable prices. All of the components that ASI offers
have been selected through a stringent evaluation process. This process includes
comparison evaluations between various manufacturers in actual laboratory settings.
Only the highest quality components are offered by ASI to insure that you receive
the best system available.
- ASI integrates various components with its own quality product line
to offer systems and component packages that are below the actual cost of individual
components if they were purchased separately. ASI also works closely with a number
of software manufacturers to make sure that you receive the level of support that
you require. In some instances, ASI will recommend that you buy a complete system
directly from the software vendor because they are in a better position to provide
support for the main component of the system, the software. In summary, ASI will
do everything they can to insure that you are well taken care of.
