Primary Beam Splitting Devices for Confocal Microscopes
Current fluorescence microscopy employs incident illumination which requires separation of illumination and emission light. The classical device performing this separation is a color-dependent beam…Read article
Video: The White Light Laser – How to Effectively Excite Multiple Fluorophores with a Single Light Source
The Leica White Light Laser produces a continuous spectral output between the wavelengths of 470 and 670 nm. It allows you to select 8 excitation lines from 3 trillion unique combinations for…Read article
ICln: A New Regulator of Non-Erythroid 4.1R Localisation and Function
To optimise the efficiency of cell machinery, cells can use the same protein (often called a hub protein) to participate in different cell functions by simply changing its target molecules. There are…Read article
Acousto Optics in True Confocal Spectral Microscope Systems
Acousto-optical elements have successfully replaced planar filters in many positions. The white confocal, regarded as the fully spectrally tunable confocal microscope, was not possible without this…Read article
Multiple Microscopy Modes in a Single Sweep with Supercontinuum White Light
Lasers have been critical to the advancement on confocal microscopy, and the white light laser (WLL) offers particular advantages. Finessing WLL output for bioimaging is a complex task, though, and…Read article
Beam Splitting
Fluorescence Microscopy usually employs incident light illumination. This requires a device that directs the light for illumination into the sample and transmits the light emitted by the sample to the…Read article
The First Supercontinuum Confocal that Adapts to the Sample
Until now, biological and medical research fluorescence imaging in multi-user facilities or institutes has been limited by the type or number of dyes that could be excited. The Leica TCS SP5 X…Read article
