Confocal imaging of thick samples (10 to 150 µm) on slides, in small petri dishes or in multi-well plates. Resonance scanning catches highly dynamic processes, and fluorescence lifetime imaging (FLIM) separates signals by their lifetimes.

Our Stellaris images unlabeled and fluorescent samples 10 to 150 µm thick. A 405 nm laser excites near-UV dyes, and a white light laser with an acousto-optical tunable filter excites at any wavelength from 440 to 790 nm. Five hybrid (HyD) detectors together cover 410 to 850 nm: 2 HyD S for general use, strongest in the blue-green, and 2 HyD X plus 1 HyD R with higher sensitivity in photon counting, the best choice for FLIM. The HyD R reaches out to 850 nm.
The scope is shared in common, but users outside the labs that took part in the NIH S10 grant need approval from the Stellaris confocal oversight committee, per the terms of the award. Ask us about the external user policy. If you publish data from this scope you must cite NIH S10 Grant 1S10OD036314-01A1.
A 24-hour block is also available: $561.31 for UCSC users, $878.45 for external non-profit users and $1,756.89 for companies.
