Fluorescence Lifetime Imaging (FLIM) adds another dimension to conventional intensity based imaging methods. FLIM is not affected by fluctuations in the fluorescence intensity and permits to discrimination between fluorophores with similar emission spectra (and from auto-fluorescence. It can be used to probe local environmental conditions (e.g., pH value), to determine ion concentrations, to study intracellular signal transduction or to distinguish between different tissue components.

he IncuCyte S3 is a widefield inverted live cell system engineered with long term high throughput imaging in mind. Housed inside a tissue culture incubator, the imaging module maintains the most stable imaging conditions possible ( 37C temperature, humidity and 5% CO2). The system comes with a selection of versatile inserts allowing you to image your cells in a range of vessels.

The Zeiss LSM 800 is an inverted Zeiss Axio Observer Z1 laser scanning confocal microscope equipped with high quantum efficiency GaAsP detector, 2 multi-alkali PMTs and DIC optics for trans-illumination microscopy with each objective. In addition, the Airyscan module can deliver images with 1.7 x improved resolution (120 nm in x / y and 350 nm in z) and 4-8 x better signal-to-noise ratio, with fast linear scanning. Airyscan works with thicker samples such as fixed tissue sections or whole animal mounts that need a higher penetration depth.
