The system was developed in collaboration with Institute of Normal Phisiology Russian Academy of Medical Science, Moscow, Russia.
Applications:
– gene expression detection in whole organs using quantum dots, fluorescent proteins and special tissue staining
– single neuron and neuronal network visualization in whole brain
– embryos anatomy visualization
Features of fiber-optics design:
– optimum focusing parameters due to single mode (gaussian) propagation
– flexibility and portability
– immunity to external perturbations (vibrations, temperature, humidity, dust)
– easy and safety handling
Specifications:
– max. sample dimentions 30x15x15 mm
– optical spatial resolution: transversal – 6 micron, axial – 21 micron
– positioning accuracy ( Z direction) 1 micron
– fluorescent filters spectral range 425…633 nm
