Description

超高灵敏度GaAsP NDD的活体内深度成像
GaAsP NDD配备GaAsP PMT,具有比多碱PMT更高的信噪比和更高的灵敏度,并且可以对较深的活体样品进行清晰的成像。获得高信噪比图像的能力可以实现更快的成像和更高质量的Z-stack成像。其高灵敏度允许以较少的激光功率采集荧光信号,导致对活体样本的光损伤较少。
尼康A1 MP+和A1R MP+可配置1080nm波长或1300nm波长,可实现高达1.4mm的深度成像。
NDD尽可能靠近样本,以便检测来自深层活体标本内的最大散射信号。通过检测反射和透射的荧光信号,用于Ni-E/FN1立式显微镜的表观和双光子GaAsP NDD的组合可以获得明亮和高信噪比的图像。

可视化活体微循环
Blood cells in blood vessels within a living organism were excited by a femtosecond pulsed IR laser with the A1R MP+’s ultrahigh-speed resonant scanner, and their movements were simultaneously captured in three successive fluorescence images at 30 fps (30 msec), with three separate color channels.
Three fluorescent probes are simultaneously excited and imaged–nucleus (blue), endothelium (green), and plasma (red). The long-wavelength ultrafast laser in combination with the ultrahigh-speed resonant scanner effectively reduces photodamage and makes time resolved multiphoton imaging of biomolecules possible.

改变多光子激发波长时的自动激光对准
当多光子激光波长或组速度色散预补偿改变时,位于物镜后孔的位置指向的多光子激光束也可能改变,导致图像上的不均匀强度或IR和可见激光光路之间的微小的未对准。
传统上,验证IR激光束指向和设置对准一直是困难的。 Nikon的A1 MP+ / A1R MP+系列自动激光对准功能,容纳在多光子激发光路的入射光学单元中,可以通过NIS-Elements C中的单次点击自动最大化IR激光对准。
(在800 nm – 1300 nm波长范围内可进行自动激光对准)
