TCSPC Life Time (PICOQUANT)

Fluorescence Life time Microscope

LSM Upgrade Kit

The confocal Laser Scanning Microscope (LSM) is a powerful tool commonly used in many areas of life sciences that lets you see what happens within your samples. Expand the versatility of your LSM by adding one of our Upgrade Kits to gain access to a whole new dimension of information: the time domain. Gain deeper insights into the systems you are studying as well as into their dynamics thanks this additional contrast source.

Key Applications
Expanding the capabilities of an LSM with one of PicoQuants Upgrade Kits gives the user access to a large variety of innovative time-resolved applications. These techniques provide a new layer of information for all kinds of luminescent materials or labels, offering deeper insights into structure, function, and behavior.

  • FLIM : Use Fluorescence Lifetime Imaging (FLIM) to gain new insights into what‘s going on in your samples by exploiting the time dimension.
  • rapidFLIMHiRes : A novel approach to make visible fast processes with fluorescence lifetime imaging.
  • PLIM : Phosphorescence Lifetime Imaging (PLIM) allows characterizing samples with long emission lieftimes and is ideally suited for life as well as materials science.
  • FRET : Lifetime-based Förster Resonance Energy Transfer (FRET) enables distance measurements in the nanometer range as well as observation and quantification of molecular interactions.
