2 THE RHOMBIX SYSTEM is unique in the way it integrates experimental details and automation settings in one centralized database, enabling advanced data mining and monitoring of experiments.

3 Rhombix Series Protein Crystallization Solutions Comprehensive Automation Solutions Proteins are notoriously difficult to grow and can be even harder to detect. The Rhombix Series of products from Thermo Electron Corporation offers comprehensive, proven solutions to both challenges. Our advanced image quality and state-of-the-art, multi-mode imaging make it easy to visualize even the most elusive crystal. Rhombix has captured the entire protein-crystallization process. We have worked with leading crystallographers to design a complete range of solutions from the ground up. They can provide every tool that you need and will deliver superior results. An investment in any Rhombix system is an investment in the future its modular design makes moving up to the next level of automation effortless. Improved speed and accuracy through automation are only the beginning of the Rhombix advantage. Our closed-loop software enables researchers to gather, analyze and use essential data more effectively, rapidly optimizing the crystallization process.

4 RHOMBIX UTILIZES THE BEST IN WORLD-CLASS OPTICAL TECHNOLOGIES TO ENHANCE THE PROCESS OF EXAMINING CRYSTAL IMAGES. VISION 750i VISION TABLESTORE FEATURES Advanced Image Quality and Clarity Rhombix utilizes the best in world-class optical technologies to enhance the process of examining crystal images. Our special camera-and-lens configuration, with true color detection and advanced software algorithms, provides the flexibility to perform a variety of operations to improve the quality of images. Autofocus Drop finding X-focus Rapid image capture Microscope mode Superior Multi-Mode Imaging The key to effectively detecting crystals lies in being able to draw on a choice of top-quality imaging modes. Our highly regarded lighting system ensures that if a crystal develops, you ll detect it. The system delivers true polarized conditions that take advantage of the birefringent property of crystals. Sophisticated Data Management The Rhombix system is unique in the way it integrates experimental details and automation settings in one centralized database, enabling advanced data mining and monitoring of experiments. Our exclusive Remote Data Sharing capability allows a researcher to design experiments and share the results within the laboratory or across the globe. Remote data sharing Platform-independent access through Microsoft Terminal Services Easy data entry and viewing through the Rhombix Software Suite Easy data retrieval through our patent-pending Visual Query Tool software and Reporting Tool plug-in Brightfield Darkfield True Polarized extinction and variable angle
