Characteristics of Lasers for Super-Resolution Microscopy
With regard to super-resolution microscopy, Laser Quantum can provide a laser that suits the needs of your research approach:
- Structured Illumination Microscopy (SIM)
- Laser power: ~100 mW
- Allows high throughput
- Easy sample preparation
- Super resolution limited to about 100 nm
- Single Molecule Localization Microscopy (SMLM)
- Laser power 500 mW
- Includes STORM, PALM, DNA-PAINT
- Stochastical approach
- Best resolution over all current techniques, down to 5 nm
- Stimulated Emission Depletion (STED) Microscopy
- Laser power: Watt level, pulsed for gated STED
- Deterministic approach
- Best resolution without image reconstruction
- Lattice Light Sheet Microscopy
- Laser power: 100 mW, 500 mW
- Illumination decoupled from detection
- Reduced acquisition duration, photobleaching effect and phototoxicity
