mmi CellCut - UV Cut Software

The high precision, motorised xy-stage is controlled through computer mouse or keyboard. In addition, an overview allows easy and fast navigation within the slide. Several positions of the stage can be stored to make finding of interesting areas more easy.

Automatically before and after the cutting, a picture is taken and stored in the picture file. In addition you can take a snapshot any time.
The software allows for time-lagged cutting. I.e. drawing and cutting need not be done at the same time. With the help of the save and load contour function, the cutting marks are stored by the software and reloaded when you are ready for the cutting. You can even switch-off the system and remove the slide from the microscope.

Highlights of the UV Cut® Software

Automatic full slide cap lift As many single cells or groups of cells can be encircled over the entire slide area in one step. The cap lift will automatically move over the slide to pick up the microdissected areas. This results to a significant time saving.
Inspection mode The software will automatically move the mmi Isolation Cap® to an empty area in the slide. Thus, the user can inspect the cap and verify that the microdissected areas cling to the lid.
Ablation Mode The unique technique involving the mmi Isolation Cap® allows to selectively burn microdissected areas already clinging to the lid. With the ablation mode, the user can simply mark undesired areas which are already microdissected, the laser will then automatically burn these areas.
Modular design The software is designed in a modular way allowing upgrades with other MMI products easily and at any time.
