Olympus Fluoview 1000
This triple-laser confocal microscope uses auto-setup to install objectives, lasers and detectors for unique dye combinations. FRAP (with SIM scanning), FRET and spectral imaging are available.
Overview
- 3 lasers (488, 543, 633 nm) plus 405nm for FRAP
- Time detectors (two are variable band pass)
- Time controller for complex experiments
- After training, users are expected to image on their own
Cost
- $35/hour
Details
- Sim scanning: simultaneous photobleaching and scanning. Excellent for rapid FRAP or acceptor photobleaching FRET.
- Spectral imaging: using either established fluorescence spectra or blind spectral deconvolution
- Time controller: enables multiple diverse imaging conditions to run with automatic controls
- Software: there is a light version of the FV1000 software that can be installed on individual computers.
