The ImageXpress HT.ai is a high-content imaging system designed for automated, high-throughput imaging of multi-well plates. It provides both spinning-disk confocal and widefield imaging and is equipped with air and water-immersion objectives. Environmental control of temperature and CO₂ enables extended live-cell imaging experiments.
