Rock Imager 1000 (Formulatrix) – Automated imaging system equipped with UV/visible light for differentiation of salt and protein crystals. The experiments are maintained for up to 4 months in the system with a programmed visualization routine following the Fibonacci serie for 55 days (0, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34 and 55). After this period, the plates can be analyzed as required by the user.
