Request InfoLambert Instruments BVA new fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy (FLIM) system from Lambert Instruments BV is compatible with any wide-field fluorescence microscope. The LIFA-TD (Lambert Instruments FLIM attachment for time-domain imaging) includes a camera with a built-in image intensifier, which can reduce the exposure time to 3 ns and alter timing of the exposure in the subnanosecond range. A pulsed laser excites the fluorophores in the sample. By using a laser with a small pulse width, the accuracy of lifetime measurements is optimized. Images are recorded with custom software, which also...See full productRelated content from Photonics MediaPRODUCTSPhotonics.com 4/8/2020Femtosecond Fiber LaserThe FemtoFiber ultra 920 from TOPTICA Photonics AG is a femtosecond fiber laser optimized for two-photon microscopy.
