Fluorescence Microscopy

Fluorescence Microfluorometry and Mapping

HORIBA fluorescence spectroscopy solutions can be added to an inverted or upright fluorescence microscope. Many of the steady state and time-resolved experiments that are performed macroscopically in our various fluorometers, can also be performed on the microscopic scale with the addition of the appropriate optical coupling to a fluorescence microscope.

In the case of our FLIMera wide field video rate FLIM camera, it can be easily added to the C-Mount of any fluorescence microscope, and requires only the addition of an appropriate coupled pulsed laser.

Below is a chart of fluorescence microscopy solutions available with different HORIBA instruments.

InverTau

✔ Affordable laser scanning unit for FLIM studies

✔ Fully computer-controlled confocal optics, with the intuitive EzTime™ Image software, minimizes set up time and increases productivity

✔ Simply switch from confocal laser scanning to widefield imaging with the addition of FLIMera

✔ Real time video display up to 6 fps with InverTau, and up to 30 fps with FLIMera

✔ Intuitive software and automated optics minimize setup time and increase productivity
