Now
you can add a new dimension in molecular dynamics to your
microscope with Time-Correlated Single-Photon Counting
(TCSPC). Time-resolved microscopy is the ultimate tool for
investigating
any dynamic events in cells and subcellular structures,
such as energy-transfer and molecular binding. HORIBA Jobin
Yvon, the leader in fluorescence spectroscopy, offers an
advanced system to apply time-resolved fluorescence spectroscopy
on the micron-scale. We have adapted IBH TCSPC components
for use with a microscope to achieve the best sensitivity
for fluorescence-lifetime measurement. Light sources are
interchangeable pulsed-diode sources, including the first
deep-UV diodes: 280 nm, 295 nm and 340 nm LEDs. With the
280 nm LED, you can measure fluorescence lifetimes of proteins
with tryptophan directly from tissue samples. The system
can measure lifetimes from 100 ps up to 100 µs with
TCSPC, and phosphorescence lifetimes (>10 µs)
with MCS using the state-of-the-art IBH TBX-04 PMT detector
and electronics.
