Confocal Fluorescence Microscopy01:16

Confocal Fluorescence Microscopy

19.6K
Confocal microscopy is an advanced microscopic technique. The prime advantage of the confocal microscope over other microscopy techniques is its ability to block the out-of-focus light from the illuminated samples using pinholes. It is widely used with fluorescence optics to obtain high-resolution, sharp contrast images. Unlike optical microscopes, confocal microscopes use a focused beam of light laser to scan the entire sample surface at different z-planes. These microscopes are, therefore,...

Fluorescence and Phosphorescence: Instrumentation

1.2K
Fluorometers and spectrofluorometers are two types of instruments used for measuring molecular fluorescence. These instruments differ in how they select excitation and emission wavelengths and the type of light sources they utilize. Fluorometers use absorption interference filters to choose excitation and emission wavelengths. The excitation source in a fluorometer is typically a low-pressure mercury vapor lamp that emits intense lines distributed throughout the ultraviolet and visible regions.

    • Material sciences
    • Optical imaging

    Background:

    • Phosphorescence lifetime measurement is crucial in life and material sciences.
    • Conventional point scanning methods face challenges with long recording times and low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR).

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop a parallel and high SNR imaging technique for phosphorescence lifetime measurement.
    • To overcome the limitations of traditional point scanning methods.

    Main Methods:

    • A confocal line scanning mechanical streak camera was developed.
