About This Product
Laser light is introduced from the epi-illumination device attachment point of the optical microscope and irradiates the sample under the objective lens. By focusing the light onto the sample using the focusing power of the objective lens, it is possible to ablate individual cells or optically stimulate microscopic areas easily, safely, accurately, and without contamination. Can be attached to most optical microscopes without modification. A standard single beam type and a galvano type with a built-in simple scanner that can irradiate the laser to any position within the field of view are available.
■Features
・Extremely small optical stimulation: a minute spot close to the diffraction limit (less than 0.3 μm when using a 100X objective)
・Laser and observation light source are coaxial: Laser irradiation can be performed at the same time as observation.
・Selective irradiation is possible in the depth direction of the sample
- Easy to install and move due to fiber connection method.
- Adopts dye laser, wavelength can be changed depending on purpose. (Selectable range 365nm to 900nm)
・Pulse energy 50μJ or more, pulse width 2-6 nsec.
・Beam alignment and power adjustment can be easily performed.
・Can be mounted on upright/inverted optical microscopes from Olympus, Nikon, Leica, and Zeiss
application
■Laser Ablation
It is possible to cut, destroy, or damage specific parts of a sample. Targets: Nematodes, flies, zebrafish, plant roots, yeast, etc. Examples: nerve severing, microorgan destruction, cell damage
■Photobleaching/Photobleaching
Irradiating the fluorescent dye with strong light causes it to fade. We will use this phenomenon to conduct FLIP and FRAP experiments.
■Photoconversion/Photoconversion
The fluorescence wavelength is shifted by irradiating it with light of a specific wavelength.
■Photoactivation/Photoactivation
The fluorescence intensity is amplified by irradiating fluorescent proteins such as PA-GFP and PA-RFP with light of a specific wavelength.
■Photoswitching
The fluorescence wavelength can be reversibly changed by irradiating it with light of a specific wavelength. You can also experiment with the phenomenon of photochromism using photochromic compounds under a microscope.
