Fluorescence Lifetime Imaging Microscopy (FLIM) Solutions for Confocal Microscopes
Becker & Hickl modules can turn a broad range of confocal microscope into FLIM systems. Upgrade packages include electronics, detectors, lasers, scanners, computers, software and accessories. Solutions are available for many microscope manufactures including:
- Zeiss
- Leica
- Nikon
- Olympus
- Sutter
- Others – please enquire
FLIM upgrades feature:
- Fluorescence lifetime imaging with picosecond resolution
- Excitation by picosecond diode lasers
- Confocal detection
- Simultaneous detection in several wavelength intervals
- Multi-dimensional TCSPC techniques
- Excellent time resolution and sensitivity
- Zoom and image rotation functions of microscope applicable
- Work at any scan rate
Confocal Scanner – DCS-120
For those systems that may not already have confocal scanning capability, we have that covered for you. The DCS-120 be used to convert an existing conventional microscope into a fully functional confocal or multiphoton laser scanning microscope with TCSPC detection. Due to its fast beam scanning and its high sensitivity the DCS-120 system is compatible with live cell imaging. DCS-120 functions allow:
- simultaneous recording of FLIM or steady-state fluorescence images simultaneously in two fully parallel wavelength channels,
- laser wavelength multiplexing,
- time-series FLIM, time series recording,
- Z stack FLIM,
- phosphorescence lifetime imaging (PLIM),
- fluorescence lifetime-transient scanning (FLITS)
- FCS recording.
Our team of application specialist will work with you to define the most appropriate modules to create your upgrade system. We can provide on-site installation and training at your option.
