白光雷射倒立型共軛焦顯微鏡-STED系統

儀器描述

STED顯微鏡應用壓制雷射形成donut以壓制螢光,產生比共軛焦顯微影像更高解析度的gated STED影像,其光學解析力至50 nm以下,是為不經運算之純光學超解析技術。STED技術中,解析度可隨壓制雷射之強度而變化。壓制雷射強度越強,可達到越高的解析度,搭配LightGate技術移除雜訊,同樣雷射強度下解析度可提升1.4倍。

主要特點

  • 多色高解析度觀察
  • 多點位置應用及樣品大面積拼圖
  • 光譜分析功能
  • 弱螢光影像

Description

Nanoscopy has revolutionized the study of subcellular architecture and dynamics and is on its way to becoming the new gold standard in fluorescence imaging (Nobel Prize for Chemistry 2014).
The fully integrated STED (STimulated Emission Depletion) systems Leica TCS SP8 STED meet the requirements of daily research and provide fast, intuitive, and purely optical access to structural details far beyond the diffraction limit. Resolution becomes tunable in x, y and z.

  • Multi-color high-resolution scanning –LIGHTENING
  • Fluorescence multiple position and large area merge imaging
  • Spectrum scan
  • Low-fluorescence imaging
  • FRET experiment
  • FRAP and FLIP experiment
  • Living cell time-lapse confocal imaging
  • FLIM scanning and analysis
  • STED super-resolution imaging

Specification

  • Microscope main body:Leica DMI 6000
  • Laser system:
    Confocal system:405 nm, WLL 470-670 nm
    Depletion laser:592 nm, 775 nm
  • Filter:DAPI, EGFP, TexasRed
  • Objective:10x, 20x Imm Corr Glyc, 40x oil, 63x oil, 93x Glyc (STED), 100x (STED) oil
  • detector:2, PMT detector;1, HyD SMD detector;1, HyD detector
  • DIC module
  • Automatic sample stage

Precautions for user

  • Recommend to use “1.5H (0.17 mm)” coverslip
  • Recommend to use glass bottom dish or microplate
  • Recommend to use high-grade coverslip or glass bottom dish for STED application
  • Some functional application is only technician operation:
    1. Non-common used slice, Wet-type sample which contain culture medium and buffer
    2. Photon manipulation
  • To avoid the 592 nm laser excitation dyes, eg. DAPI / Hoechst, by using STED system (DAPI replacement dyes: TO-PRO-3, YOYO-3, DRAQ 5)
  • Reference for STED sample preparation: Suggestion from Leica website (STED technology has the limitation, and user must be understood the requirement of sample preparation)
