The ASI SCAPE Demo System is an early pilot system and mainly intended for hardware testing. The system features a single camera with a triple-band detection filter. It can be used for single-color imaging experiments, initial multi-color test experiments, and user training. Due to the limited multi-color imaging capabilities the ASI SCAPE Dual-Camera System is better suited for more complex experimental designs.
