Leica TCS CARS: First Confocal System With CARS Imaging

Leica Microsystems and APE, Berlin have developed a fully integrated confocal system with the capability for CARS (Coherent Anti-Stokes Raman Scattering) imaging, the Leica TCS CARS.
The microscope system is based on the Leica TCS SP5 II and benefits from imaging at video rate and a resolution of 8 x 8 Mpx for morphological studies. moreNov. 15, 2011

Multi Color Laser Light Source for Super Resolution Microscopy

The Agilent Monolithic Laser Combiner MLC 400, distributed by Laser 2000 Europe, is a perfect solution for confocal, super resolution and fluorescence microscopy. Long-life DPSS and diode lasers are efficiently combined in a single output fiber, which is coupled to the microscope. With the integrated AOTF fast switching between the wavelengths and fast regulation of the output power is possible.
The unique design includes permanent factory alignment. No more losing time with adjusting lasers instead of taking microscope images. moreMar. 04, 2011

Andor Introduces a Two Camera Imaging Adapter

Andor Technology has launched TuCam, a high performance, two-camera adapter for macro or microscopic imaging applications.

TuCam can be configured for simultaneous imaging from two similar cameras or as a switch between camera models with different imaging capabilities. The solution is particularly suited for the detection of two different fluorophores in experiments such as co-localization FRET or ratiometric ion signalling. moreJan. 31, 2011

EMCCD Camera for High-Speed, High-Sensitivity Imaging

QImaging announces the release of the Rolera EM-C2 EMCCD microscopy camera. Engineered for high-sensitivity and high-speed performance in low-light imaging applications, the Rolera EM-C2 camera aids researchers in applications such as spinning-disc confocal imaging, Total Internal Reflection Fluorescence (TIRF) microscopy, ratiometric ion imaging and Fluorescence Recovery After Photobleaching (FRAP). moreOct. 11, 2009

The Best of Both Worlds

The Olympus FV1000 is the most flexible confocal system available, with features including the unique SIM scanner and superb UIS2 optics. The addition of an advanced TIRFM module allows researchers to significantly enhance the imaging capacity of their system. As well as standard and confocal laser scanning fluorescence image acquisition, the TIRFM module enables evanescent illumination for CCD-based thin surface layer observation. It also provides higher z-resolution than established light microscopy techniques. more
