Nanoscopy Meets Lifetime - Introducing the new τ-STED

Fluorescence lifetime provides a new perspective for STED nanoscopy. With the unique τ-STED functionality from Leica Microsystems, your scientific research will benefit from super-resolution STED offering excellent performance with a much lower light dose and getting rid of undesired background signal.

τ-STED combines the optical signals from STED and the photophysical information from the fluorescence lifetime at unprecedented speeds. This new approach to STED uses phasor analysis in a novel way. τ-STED enables an increased STED resolution and elimination of uncorrelated background noise, even at low excitation and STED powers.
