Spinning Disk Microscopy
(Registration Required)
Dynamic live cell experiments such as FRAP (Fluorescence Recovery After Photo-bleaching) require the ability to target concentrated laser illumination onto a user-defi ned ROI (Region Of Interest), while minimizing photo-bleaching associated with sequential image capture. The UltraVIEW® PhotoKinesis™ Accessory enables these techniques.

Double-staining and even triple-staining with poly- or monoclonal antibodies in immunohistochemistry (IHC) can enhance the study of colocalization—the presence of two or more antigens in one cell. Conventional methods for imaging colocalization, however, are prohibitive because overlapping colors are often indiscernible.

With Definite Focus, Carl Zeiss offers a system for the Axio Observer.Z1 that can be used not only for the research of cell cultures in many biomedical applications, for example, cell biology, pharmacology, molecular genetics, developmental biology, and the neurosciences, but also in basic research. The system has been specially designed for fluorescence applications and time-lapse experiments under live cell conditions.

With Colibri, Carl Zeiss MicroImaging GmbH is introducing an innovative light source that will bring the numerous advantages of LEDs (Light Emitting Diodes) into the fluorescence microscopy domain. LED technology has developed rapidly over recent years in terms not only of available wavelengths but also of emission performance, so that LEDs have come to be used in a wide range of applications.

Live cell fluorescence imaging is an increasingly popular technique for obtaining dynamic information about cellular processes. However, imaging live cells creates many challenges, not the least of which is keeping the cells alive.

Typical organic fluorophores, including Fluorescent Proteins, have excitation and emission spectra that are often overlapping. The peaks of these asymmetric, bell-shaped curves can be quite close together, defining the Stokes shift of that fluorophore.
