If your assays require fluorescence imaging \u2013 GFP, DAPI, multi-channel \u2013 the Lionheart FX or a similar fluorescence microscope is the right choice. zenCELL owl is designed for labs that need high-quality brightfield live cell imaging at accessible cost, not as a fluorescence replacement.<\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"lh-faq-item\">\n      <div class=\"lh-faq-q\" onclick=\"toggleFaq(this)\">The Lionheart FX has more magnification options. Does 10\u00d7 limit what I can do? <span class=\"lh-faq-ico\">+<\/span><\/div>\n      <div class=\"lh-faq-a\">For the applications zenCELL owl is designed for \u2013 confluence monitoring, scratch assay, cytotoxicity, cell counting and HTS entry \u2013 10\u00d7 magnification with digital zoom covers everything you need. Subcellular imaging at 40\u00d7 or 100\u00d7 is a different category of experiment. If your work requires subcellular resolution, the Lionheart FX is better suited. If you are monitoring cell culture health, migration and proliferation, 10\u00d7 is exactly right.<\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"lh-faq-item\">\n      <div class=\"lh-faq-q\" onclick=\"toggleFaq(this)\">Why is the zenCELL owl sensor higher resolution than the Lionheart FX? <span class=\"lh-faq-ico\">+<\/span><\/div>\n      <div class=\"lh-faq-a\">zenCELL owl uses a 5 MP CMOS sensor per channel (2592 \u00d7 1944 pixels), giving sharp brightfield images with sufficient detail for single-cell observation and morphology analysis. The Lionheart FX uses a 1.25 MP sensor optimised for fluorescence sensitivity rather than brightfield resolution. For brightfield-only applications, zenCELL owl's 5 MP sensor produces cleaner, more detailed images.<\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"lh-faq-item\">\n      <div class=\"lh-faq-q\" onclick=\"toggleFaq(this)\">What does \"24 wells simultaneously\" mean in practice? <span class=\"lh-faq-ico\">+<\/span><\/div>\n      <div class=\"lh-faq-a\">zenCELL owl contains 24 independent miniaturised cameras \u2013 one per well of a standard 24-well plate. Every imaging interval, all 24 cameras capture their image at exactly the same moment. The Lionheart FX uses a single camera and motorised stage that moves to each well in sequence. For a 24-well plate, this means the Lionheart captures well 1 first and well 24 last \u2013 with minutes of delay between time points across wells. zenCELL owl captures all 24 simultaneously, giving you truly synchronised time-course data.<\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"lh-faq-item\">\n      <div class=\"lh-faq-q\" onclick=\"toggleFaq(this)\">Is zenCELL owl suitable for drug screening? <span class=\"lh-faq-ico\">+<\/span><\/div>\n      <div class=\"lh-faq-a\">Yes, for brightfield-based drug screening. Running 8 concentrations \u00d7 3 replicates on a 24-well plate gives you a complete dose-response dataset in one automated run. Confluence loss (cytotoxicity), scratch closure inhibition (anti-migration) and cell count reduction are all measurable without fluorescent labels. For label-free drug screening at entry-level HTS scale, zenCELL owl is well-suited. For reporter gene assays or fluorescent compound screening, fluorescence imaging is required.<\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"lh-faq-item\">\n      <div class=\"lh-faq-q\" onclick=\"toggleFaq(this)\">What software is included and what does it cost? <span class=\"lh-faq-ico\">+<\/span><\/div>\n      <div class=\"lh-faq-a\">zenCELL software is included at no additional cost with every device. It provides confluence analysis, cell counting, time-lapse video export and CSV data export. Integration with ImageJ is free and documented. There are no annual software licence fees. The Lionheart FX uses Agilent Gen5 software, which requires a licence and typically comes with annual renewal costs.<\/div>\n    <\/div>\n  <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<!-- CTA -->\n<div class=\"lh-cta\">\n  <h2>See what zenCELL owl<br>does for your lab<\/h2>\n  <p>Book a 20-minute remote demo.
