Versatile High End Microscopy: Pushing the Boundaries of Fluorescence Imaging

Olympus has recently launched a range of versatile fluorescence research microscope systems - the xcellence line - which covers advanced live cell techniques, including real-time, high-speed imaging, TIRFM & HILO (cell^tirf), and photo control such as FRAP, FLIP & photo activation (cell^frap). With a series of new features, this portfolio enables users to continue advancing their microscopy research.

Adaptability and Ergonomy

As a core component to almost all clinical and research work, microscopy has a continuing and growing role within modern science and medicine. For example, even with the increasing prevalence of molecular tests, the microscopic view provides the unique opportunity to observe the physiology of a disease, or process. As a result, the quality of the diagnosis, or the progression of a research project, is reliant upon the resolution and clarity of the images produced by the microscope and its related imaging components. more

Super-resolution Optical Microscopy Technology

Fluorescence microscopy is among the most widely used imaging methods in biology. However, conventional light microscopy cannot resolve many structures inside cells because its horizontal resolution is limited to approximately 200 nm. 3D STORM is a recently developed super-resolution technique that can achieve 20-30 nm lateral resolution and 50-60 nm axial resolution, enabling elucidation of previously unresolvable sub-cellular structure. more

Optical Metrology Made Easy

Surface metrology is quickly emerging as a critical analytical technique to determine the topology of various materials. It can be used to identify corrosion, surface characterization, or to control the quality of different surfaces. Conventional methods such as profilometry, have involved the use of a stylus being dragged along the sample surface. However, this technique can be problematic; it cannot be used on certain materials, such as adhesives, and the dragging process itself may result in inaccurate data being obtained. more
