ISS FLIM & FCS Upgrade Kits
Overview of Zeiss
The Zeiss LSM 710, LSM 770, LSM 880, and LSM 980 confocal microscopes series can be easily upgraded to Fluorescence Lifetime Imaging (FLIM) and Fluorescence Correlation Spectroscopy (FCS) capability using photon counting detection. Data is acquired using one of two modalities: FastFLIM (digital frequency domain); or SWISS card (digital TCSP, time-domain). While the choice depends upon the user preference, FastFLIM provides directly data in a suitable format for phasor plot analysis. The package includes VistaVision for data acquisition and processing.
The Zeiss FCS and FLIM upgrade package includes the following items:
| FastFLIM Unit or TCSPC Unit |
Each unit accepts the output (via BNC) from the detectors and the synchronization signal from the Zeiss system. |
| Detectors |
Two detectors coupled to the descanned port of the confocal head of the microscope; or to the non-descanned port (for multiphoton instruments). |
| Laser Launcher |
Available for 3-, 4- and 6-lasers. The lasers beams are superimposed and the output of the laser launcher is connected to the microscope by using a fiber optic. |
| Computer Running VistaVision by ISS |
A high-performance computer, with a 32” flat monitor, 2556 x 1440 resolution. |
