In biomedical research, the use of fluorescence microscopy has become a tool of rising importance. The ability to tag specific proteins with fluorescent markers helps in the study of the structure and function of cells, tissue, and even whole organisms. Laser Scanning Microscopes (LSM) excel in high-resolution image acquisition in 3D and over time. However, researchers have been limited in the number of multiple fluorescence markers that could be used simultaneously.
The LSM 510 META and its unique multi-spectral detector overcome the limitations of standard LSM based on the new Emission Fingerprinting method. Developed together with researchers of the California ...
