Easily generate publication-quality images at high throughput speeds

WiScan® Hermes is a cost-effective system that is both sophisticated and flexible, offering up to 7 fluorescence colours, bright field option, and a large range of air objectives. The system can accommodate a variety of multi-well plates and sample formats (slides, dishes…) and offers environmental control for live cell assays.

Versatile

Whether you are performing assay development, compound screens, transfection assays or looking at a few samples in great detail, and whether you are using 3D models (such as spheroids, Organoids), Zebrafish imaging, primary cells, fixed cells or live-cell imaging, WiScan® Hermes is the solution for you.

Reliable

WiScan Hermes, IDEA Bio-Medical’s automated imaging system for high content screening (HCS) provides the unique combination of the two contradicting primary functions of automated microscopy: Image quality and acquisition speed.

Robust

WiScan® Hermes’ mechanisms are based on patents, creatively designed to meet heavy-duty operation demands (24/7) with full process robustness.

Flexible

WiScan® Hermes is a cost-effective system that is both sophisticated and flexible, offering 7 fluorescence colours, bright field option, and a large range of air objectives. The system can accommodate a variety of multi-well plates and sample formats (slides, dishes…) and offers environmental control for live cell assays.

Intuitive

It doesn’t matter if you are a beginner or an experienced microscopist, Hermes easily allows you to look deeper into your samples. The system is intuitively operated. Its built-in applications are extremely easy to use and are operated at the push-of-a-button.
