High-Resolution 3D Block Face Imaging with HREM

Image dense biological and agricultural samples in high detail

Benefits

High-resolution Over Large Areas

Image whole samples using block face technologies in micro-macro sizes from <1mm- 60mm using a combination of optics and imaging techniques combined with Optical HREM systems.

Dense and Complex Structures

Image a range of samples from whole embryos to individual organs, or citrus to barley using Optical HREM block face systems. With a combination of optical resolution and range of sample sizes produces a dynamic 3D imaging system.

3D reconstruction

Optical HREM systems, designed for block face imaging of larger samples, provide seamless acquisition of large volumetric datasets.

How Optical HREM Systems Perform Block Face Imaging

OHREM systems can be used for 3D data acquisition of whole samples by imaging the block face, with a custom setup using the Micro or Ultra system will provide the best platform for resolution and sample size.

Why Choose HREM for 3D Imaging?

OHREM combines high-resolution 2D images with a volumetric model, giving up to 20-megapixel images that progressively, physically section the sample Ideal for imaging denser samples, that are harder to clear or are simply too big while providing low level resolution from 1-8 microns.

Applications

Use OHREM block face imaging systems for a list of applications:

  • Whole Embryo Phenotyping and Development – Investigate subtle morphological images with complex structures in 2D and 3D with high resolution images.

  • Phenotyping of Crop Variety’s & Development – Examine phenotype traits that can be related to y drought tolerance, yield improvement etc.

  • Individual organs – Observe formation and differentiation of organs in developing organisms aiding in studies of congenital abnormalities.

Our instruments are used for HREM worldwide providing 3D data to many establishments for research for the above.
