Fluorescence lifetimes on a microscope
Now you can add a new dimension in molecular dynamics to your microscope with Time Correlated Single Photon Counting (TCSPC)
Time resolved microscopy is the ultimate tool for investigating any dynamic events in cells and subcellular structures, such as energy transfer and molecular binding Horiba Jobin Yvon offers an advanced system to apply time resolved fluorescence spectroscopy on the micron scale
It has adapted IBH TCSPC components for use with a microscope to achieve the best sensitivity for fluorescence lifetime measurement.
Light sources are interchangeable pulsed diodes, including the first deep UV diodes: 280nm, 295nm and 340nm LEDs.
With the 280nm LED, you can measure fluorescence lifetimes of proteins with tryptophan directly from tissue samples.
The system can measure lifetimes from 100ps up to 100microns with TCSPC, and phosphorescence lifetimes (10microns) with a Multichannel Scaler (MCS) using the state of the art IBH TBX-04 PMT detector and electronics.
