LSM Upgrade Kit

PicoQuant has expanded the compatibility list of its FLIM and FCS upgrade kit to include the Zeiss LSM 880 confocal laser scanning microscope (CLSM).

The upgrade kit is an external addition to the CLSM enhancing its capabilities by the addition of time-resolved techniques such FLIM, FCS, or advanced time-resolved FRET analysis. The system consists of three major parts: picosecond pulsed excitation sources, single photon sensitive detection systems, and Time-Correlated Single Photon Counting (TCSPC) data acquisition hardware. It is also possible to use the Zeiss LSM 880 BiG.2 detection module for FLIM and FCS measurement.

The broad range of laser sources available (from 405 nm to 640 nm), high photon sensitivity, and time resolutions ranging from pico to microseconds make it possible to analyze all types of commonly used fluorophores.
