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. more

Super Resolution Microscopy with Cobolt Jive 561 nm -

Cobolt has introduced a higher power version of its Cobolt Jive 561nm. The laser is available on the 05-01 Series single frequency platform with an output power of 500 mW CW. 200 mW and 300 mW powers are also available on the same platform. Lower power versions (25 mW-150 mW) can be found on the 04-01 Series SLM platform. more

Measuring Nanodistances in Cells

Understanding how complex processes such as receptor signal transduction work in cells requires knowledge of the structure-function relationships underlying the composition of protein complexes. Characterization of the oligomerization state of complexes requires the measurement of distances around 10-15 nm, too long for fluorescence energy transfer (FRET), but too small for optical resolution. Here we discuss various approaches that are being taken to mea­sure these distances in cells.

Super Resolution Microscopy: Light-independent Switching of Fluorescent Probes

Super Resolution Microscopy: a team of scientists headed by Dr. Dirk-Peter Herten at Heidelberg University's Institute of Physical Chemistry and members of the Cluster of Excellence "CellNetworks" have devised a new method in which light-dependent processes are replaced by chemical reactions to mark cellular structures for high-resolution optical microscopy. This method opens up new application vistas for fluorescence microscopy. more

Dr. Eric Betzig and Dr. Harald Hess

The United States Patent and Trademark Office has granted Dr. Eric Betzig and Dr. Harald Hess another patent for their invention of super-resolution localization microscopy. Together with the previously issued patents (U.S. 7,626,694, U.S. 7,828,695, U.S. 7,626,703 and U.S. 7,782,457) substantial systems and methods of super-resolution microscopy are now protected. These methods are based on the separation and localization of molecules to achieve resolution beyond the Abbe resolution limit. more
