Optical microscopy, allows us to see and understand the microscopic world beyond our perception. Today, optical microscopy is at the heart of many scientific and technical fields, including life sciences, biology, materials science, nanotechnology, industrial inspection, medicine, and many more. CD BioSciences, the imaging experts, can provide you with optical microscopy imaging services based on Abberior STEDYCON STED System.
This microscope can also be used as an upright widefield microscope controlled by Zeiss' ZEN.

STED 2-color super-resolution imaging (far-red/orange), with 40 nm resolution. Green long-Stoke shift dyes can also be used for super-resolution in the green part of the spectrum (80 nm). Special fluorophores required for all channels.
Awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 2014, STED is a super-resolution technique that enables visualizing your sample with 40 nm resolution. The STEDYCON system is a compact STED that boasts a powerful 775 nm depletion laser, enabling far-red and orange super-resolution imaging. Basically, the 775 nm laser creates a donut of light that narrows down the emission spot we create images with, hence increasing resolution. On top of that, the system has sensitive detectors that allow for 4-color confocal imaging (blue, green, orange/red, far red).
