The Fluorescence Lifetime (FLIM) upgrade kit from PicoQuant has been further improved and is now also available for the new two photon confocal microscope from Olympus, the FluoView FV1000MPE with non-descanned detection (NDD).
The upgrade kit extends the capabilities of the microscope towards time-resolved FLIM measurements with a temporal resolution down to picoseconds and allows users to perform various analysis on this time scale. The kit includes a small modification to the NDD unit of the Olympus MPE system, which enables the user to easily switch between standard NDD imaging and FLIM via a simple change of cables. Up to four internal NDD detectors can be used for FLIM.
