Compact Lifetime and FCS Upgrade Kit for LSMs |
LSM Upgrade Kit |
|
| |
Confocal Laser Scanning Microscopes (LSMs) are widely used tools in biochemistry, cell biology and other related sciences. However, the capabilities of these microscopes can be further enhanced by using time-resolved techniques, which give the opportunity to perform e.g. Fluorescence Lifetime Imaging (FLIM) or Fluorescence Correlation Spectroscopy (FCS). The complete LSM Upgrade Kit consist of a number of individual PicoQuant products and can be applied to different LSMs. |

Fluorescence Lifetime Imaging and Correlation Software |
SymPhoTime |
|
| |
The SymPhoTime software package integrates virtually all algorithms and methods for the analysis of fluorescence dynamics users may require. The software is based on the special Time-Tagged Time-Resolved (TTTR) data format from the TimeHarp 200 TCSPC PC board resp. the PicoHarp 300 TCSPC module and allows users to perform an unlimited number of analysis steps without losing track of interdependence and origin of their measurement and analysis data. Derived results can be obtained through a vast set of analysis tools, such as intensity time trace, burst analysis, lifetime histogramming, Fluorescence (Lifetime) Correlation Spectroscopy (FCS/FLCS), Fluorescence Lifetime Imaging (FLIM) and Förster Resonance Energy Transfer (FRET).
SymPhoTime V. 4.721 is now available and includes a the first official release of a completely new developed scripting language that allow users to implement analysis techniques which are not part of the standard SymPhoTime environment. The visalization functions during the measurements have also been improved and extended. Correlation speed for FCS and FLCS has been increased.

Global Fluorescence Decay Data Analysis Software |
FluoFit |
|
| |
The FluoFit program is a multiexponential fluorescence decay fitting software for PCs. It implements an iterative reconvolution of the instrument response and the observed fluorescence decay with nonlinear error minimization based on the Levenberg-Marquardt algorithms. Up to four-exponential decay models or different lifetime distribution models can be fitted to the observed data. IRF and decay background as well as time shift are included as fit parameters. Anisotropy analysis and advanced error analysis with different methods is also possible. Sophisticated import/export/printing functions are included.

Dual SPAD Power Supply |
DSN 101 |
|
| |
The dual SPAD power supply DSN 101 controls and monitors the operation of either SPCM-AQR(H) SPAD detectors of Perkin Elmer or PDM SPADs from MPD. It can control two modules at the same time and displays the count rate of one selected module. Furthermore, the DSN 101 provides protection for the SPCM-AQR SPAD modules against damage caused by overexposure to light by shutting down the power supply for the detectors. |

Photomultiplier Detector Assembly |
PMA series |
|
| |
The PMA detector is a single photon sensitive, fast time response and low-noise photon sensor from PicoQuant. It consists of a fast photon counting photomultiplier, a high voltage power supply and a pre-amplifier module all in a gold plated iron housing. The module combines the outstanding features of Hamamatsu PMT's, the performance of a built in equivalent of the PAM 102 preamplifier with a superior RF and magnetic shielding. The output can be either positive or negative, suited to typical photon counting units. The module needs only a 12V DC supply line. |
