FLIM

Fluorescence Lifetime Imaging Microscopy

 

Leica FLIM 系統, 可區分 :

D FLIM 2 ( 採用 405 nm 脈衝雷射 - Pulsed Diode Laser )

MP FLIM 2 ( 採用 多光子飛秒超快雷射 - Multi-Photon system, femto / pico Ti:sapphire )

建議採用 Leica TCS SP2 AOBS 共軛焦系統, 外接 FLIM 模組與控制分析系統.

FLIM is a technique to measure ion concentrations, intracellular signal transduction, FRET ( Fluorescence Resonant Energy Transfer ), membrane potential and more using time-correlated single photon counting technology. Striking advantages of this method are its insensitivity to shading, to photo-bleaching, concentration fluctuations of the fluorochrom itself, to excitation intensity, and to light source noise.

Fluorescence Lifetime Imaging (FLIM) has become a new powerful method to investigate molecular interactions, metabolic reactions and energy transfer in cells and subcellular structures. These effects cause changes in the fluorescence quantum efficiency and thus in the fluorescence lifetime. Since the fluorescence lifetime does not depend on the unknown dye concentration it is a direct measure for the quantum efficiency. It therefore gives a more direct access to the investigated effects than the fluorescence intensity. Furthermore, the fluorescence lifetime can be used to separate the fluorescence of different luminophores in the cells if the components cannot be distinguished by their fluorescence spectra.

FLIM 應用範例 :

  • Determination of local environment changes with the same probe.
  • Discriminate between similar fluorophores e.g. GFP and YFP for FRET studies
  • Discriminate between RNA and DNA
  • Ideal for discriminating between probes and autofluorescence.
  • Label-free imaging of live samples (e.g. diagnostics of tumor tissue.)
  • Complementary to spectral discrimination.
  • Measurement of ion concentrations.
  • Intracellular signal transduction.
  • Membrane potential.

 

D FLIM 2 MP FLIM 2
The D FLIM 2 extension uses a pulsed 405 nm diode laser as excitation source and time reference. The detection system is coupled to the external port of the system, not restricting the use of the basic instrument for confocal imaging.
Key Features
Usage of 405 nm pulsed diode laser as excitation source
Advantage: affordable FLIM solution
405nm pulsed diode laser also provides UV imaging capability
Variable laser pulse frequency for complete experimental control and flexibility
Easier to use and maintain
Usage of a wide range of fluorochromes and fluorescent proteins
Sophisticated design minimizes effect of incident light thus enhancing signal to noise ratio
Full Spectral Confocal with four fluorescence detector channels for regular intensity imaging
Usage of the pulsed diode laser as excitation source for regular intensity imaging
Retrofit of Leica TCS SP2 AOBS systems
Data analysis on independent workstation keeps the Confocal free
Fluorescence decay data for each single pixel
Single or multiple exponential decay analysis

 

The MP FLIM 2 extension uses a multiphoton laser as excitation source and time reference providing all the advantages of multiphoton excitation for FLIM analysis, like deep tissue penetration, less autofluorescence, and less photobleaching outside the focus.

The MP FLIM 2 detection system is coupled to the external port of the system, not restricting the use of the basic instrument for confocal imaging.
It is available as upgrade for Leica TCS SP2 AOBS systems.
