CD BioSciences offers a unique range of high-end custom fluorescence microscopes, small animal imaging devices, and fluorescent probes to perform fluorescence-based measurements in a variety of spatial (nm to cm), and temporal (ns). Our laboratories offer consultancy services and support the application of novel spectroscopic methods and advanced microscopy techniques to achieve high spatial and temporal resolution nanotechnology from whole in vivo animal imaging to sub 70 nm imaging using super-resolution. In addition to using state-of-the-art specialist instrumentation, we train researchers in the use of advanced imaging techniques that are used to study macromolecules, and cell dynamics and characterize biological materials with nanometric precision.
The FLIM method: The fluorescence lifetime is a measure of how long a fluorophore remains on average in its excited state before returning to the ground state by emitting a fluorescence photon. The emission of a fluorescence photon from a fluorophore does not occur at a fixed time. Instead, a distribution of times is observed, which can be described by an exponential decay function. The characteristic time constant of this decay, the fluorescence lifetime, is in the range of a few picoseconds (10-12 s) to several tens of nanoseconds (10-9 s).
1. Fluorescence imaging at all length scales: from single-molecule detection to in vivo small animal imaging.
The field of optical microscopy imaging is experiencing major technical advances which are allowing cell biologists and physicians to visualize a new, dynamic, sub-cellular world where genes and gene products interact in space and time, in health and disease with nanometer-accuracy.
2. Micro-and nano-scale imaging.
The facility currently provides: wide-field fluorescence imaging microscopy, stereo microscopy, iterative deconvolution and computationally derived optical sectioning, confocal one-photon and two-photon laser scanning confocal microscopy imaging, Fluorescence Correlation Spectroscopy (FCS), Fluorescence Resonance Energy Transfer (FRET), Fluorescence Lifetime Imaging (FLIM), time-correlated-single-photon-counting (TCSPC), near-infrared (NIR) imaging, and a super-resolution Stimulated Emission Depletion (STED) confocal microscope for probing biological and artif
Main Use: Standard confocal microscopy with slides and non-standard specimens, multiphoton microscopy and fluorescence lifetime imaging
The Leica DMIRE2 is the ideal combination of motorization, automation, high stability, optimized system compatibility, ergonomics and user convenience. And yet again, we have proved that Leica is not only keeping pace with progress, but is actually setting the pace.
