Mechanical characteristics
Reshape Imaging device dimensions, front
Reshape Imaging device dimensions, side
Weight: 25 kg
-
The sample trays which hold plates during imaging are 500x330x6mm in outer dimensions.
Temperature characteristics
- Minimum Temperature (Absolute): 6°C
- Minimum Temperature (Relative to Ambient): +5°C above the ambient temperature
- Maximum Temperature (Absolute): 40°C
- Temperature Stability: Maintains within ±1°C of the setpoint
- Temperature Homogeneity: Uniformity within ±1°C of the setpoint across the chamber
Rise time and cool-down time characterization
- Rise time to 37°C: around 10 minutes
Power draw and electrical requirements
- Compatible with both 110V and 230V outlets
- Max power draw: 150W
- Max current draw @ 230V: 0.7A
- Idle power consumption: <20W
- A power outage will cause a running job to fail.
Imaging and camera
- Reshape has developed a proprietary camera module allowing emission filtering and pre-calibration specifically for sample imaging.

Magnification and resolution per well
- 30 pixels per mm for 90mm Petri dishes
- 55 pixels per mm for 96-well-plate wells (equivalent to about 10x magnification)
File size
- Up to 3 MB per image, typically 900kb
File format output
- Images: JPEG
- Videos: MP4
Light types
- Bottom Light, Top Light
Fluorescence capability
- Please be sure to discuss any fluorescence-based application with an application specialist from Reshape so we can help ensure that your application will have adequate signal and signal-to-noise.
