The DeCellerator is a high-speed brightfield video microscopy system designed for imaging fast-moving biological and microfluidic processes.
By synchronizing a high-speed camera with microsecond LED light pulses, motion blur is suppressed — even at frame rates up to 10,000 frames per second.
This enables the visualization of rapid dynamics in extreme slow motion.
Conventional video microscopy suffers from motion blur when imaging fast objects.
The DeCellerator eliminates this limitation by:
synchronizing a high-speed CMOS camera
with pulsed microsecond LED flashes
precisely coordinated with frame acquisition
This results in sharp images of rapidly moving objects without streaking artifacts.
Conventional video microscopy records fast-moving objects with motion blur because the exposure time is too long.
The DeCellerator solves this by synchronizing:
a high-speed CMOS camera
with microsecond LED light pulses
precisely aligned to each frame
Each frame is illuminated only for a few microseconds — effectively freezing motion, even at high flow velocities.
Up to 10,000 frames per second
Microsecond LED flash illumination
Motion blur suppression
Brightfield imaging
Real-time acquisition and tracking software
Blood Cells in Vivo — Slow Motion Imaging
High-speed brightfield imaging of blood flow in zebrafish larvae demonstrating motion-free visualization of fast biological processes.
Microfluidic Droplet Production
Visualization of high-speed droplet generation in microfluidic devices. The DeCellerator enables sharp imaging of rapidly forming droplets without motion blur.
The DeCellerator package includes:
Zeiss AxioObserver microscope (40× NA 0.65 objective)
High-speed camera (Mikrotron EoSens CL)
PC system with frame grabber
Acquisition software: RecoTeem
High-power LED illumination module
While the DeCellerator is a standalone high-speed video microscopy system, it shares core hardware and illumination technology with the AcCellerator platform.
Customers already working with the AcCellerator benefit from:
Familiar acquisition workflows
Shared illumination concepts
Integrated software experience
No additional learning curve for high-speed imaging
For RT-DC users, high-speed brightfield imaging capabilities are already technically available within the AcCellerator setup. The DeCellerator provides a dedicated, optimized configuration for laboratories focusing specifically on high-speed video microscopy applications.
The DeCellerator starts from 49 000 €. If you have a suiting microscope, the price reduces accordingly.
