TCSPC Life Time (PICOQUANT)
Fluorescence Life time Spectrometers
FluoMic add-on
The FluoMic add-on provides a fast, easy, and reliable way to bring the power of the FluoTime 300 steady-state and time-resolved luminescence spectrometer with a micrometer sized, positionable observation volume. On the spectrometer’s side, installation of the FluoMic requires only sliding the mounting unit into the sample chamber.
Thank to its pre-aligned optical fibers, both pulsed and CW light sources of the FluoTime 300 can be used to excite a sample located in an external device. The FluoMic includes a special microscope fi ber coupler unit that can be attached to various microscopes (such as, e.g., the Olympus BX43).
Emitted light is collected from a small area (down to 2 μm) and brought back to the detection arm of the FluoTime 300 via a detection fiber. Thus the outstanding fl exibility in both spectral (from UV to NIR) and time (from ps to ms) range of the FluoTime 300 can be extended to samples located outside the spectrometer and then measured with spatial resolution.
