Detailed Description
Fully integrated system without the need for manual changing of filter blocks therefore making this microscope ideal for a multi-user environment with varied expertise. It has fluorescence lifetime imaging capability and a pulsed white light laser with 200 laser lines. The IR laser is ideal for FLIM in deep tissue samples while the white light laser is ideal for visible FLIM applications such as protein-protein interactions and FLIM-FRET measurements.
Uses/Applications
3D imaging of cells on materials; In-vivo imaging, dynamic (time-lapse) studies; imaging of other fluorescent samples; FLIM, FRET
